Pondering Palms and Passover

Pondering Palms and Passover

 

Peace!

Isn't that what it is all about?

What do we care for that brings us, 

our families, and our world peaceful?

What do Palms and Passover has to do with Peace anyway?

Circle round for freedom

Circle round for peace

For those of us in prison

Circle for release

Circle round the planet

Circle for each soul

For our future generations

Keep the circle whole.

Transformation ~ Life & Death

look really closely, what do you see growing through from the dead leaves?

Transformation

We are transforming ( changing) beings all the time, 

(a little like plants)!

Check out this life cycle of a plant.

How is OUR life/death cycle similar 

and different then a plant?

In this season of Lent, almost at Holy Week,

let us reflect on these words:

"To Live in Hearts the LOVE is not to Die"

What does it mean to you?

Bring your thoughts on Sunday to share!

Amazing Grace is a song that is played by many people who have lost 

someone close to them who have died.

How does this song make you feel?

How about this Prayer/poem by e.e. cummings 

Edward Estlin Cummings (October 14, 1894-September 3, 1962) better known as e.e. cummings, was raised Unitarian. How does this Prayer/Poem make you feel about life and death?

i thank You God for most this amazing. . .

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any–lifted from the no
of all nothing–human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

Planting Goodness

As Unitarian Universalists (UU's), we are called to care 

for our planet Earth which we are all a part of;

During this Lenten Season, What will you plant?

Starting Seeds inside, that will then be placed outside in the garden

Don't turn back, what is the world whispering to the seeds?

Grow, Grow! What will you be in 40 days? 

Watch this Lent Video ~ How does it relate to the seeds we are planting?

Nourishing our Bodies and our Communities

• What food makes you feel good inside?
• Who do you enjoy sharing a meal with?
• When you look around, what plants and animals surround you?
• How do they make you feel? What do they eat for Dinner?

What would our wooden garden animals eat if they could?

Even on Vacation we need to Care!

Even on Vacation we need to Care

Here and there, and Everywhere!

Questions to Ponder and think about as a family:

What are we as a family doing to care for our natural world?

What are we doing right in our home? 

What are we doing in our schools and workplaces? 

What we doing not so close to home?

Standing on the Side of LOVE!

Standing on the Side of LOVE!

LOVE!

We say this word a lot!

I love this, I love you, Im so in love with...

don't you just love when, How do you love that...

What does it really mean?

How do we express our love for ourselves,

our families, 

local and global community friends 

and those we have not met yet?

Share your thoughts in words, 

song, a prayer, a drawing!

Snakes and Sweetness

Snakes and Sweetness

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

What sweetness to you hope for and wish for?

What Animals are you?

Which animal will you continue to help paint this Sunday for our ASC Garden?

What about our UU faith calls 

us to care about our animal and human friends?
