UUABQ Voice

Sunday, January 31 “Eulogies”

The popular, annual service dedicated to notable people who died in the last year. Though 2020 brought so much grief, let us not forget to celebrate some of the regular people whose lives touched ours, even if we never knew their names. Inventors, activists, scientists, and more… come for good music and good stories; leave with a spring in your step. Angela will also pass the ceremonial Key to the Church to Bob today, as this is her last service before leaving for a four-month sabbatical.

Unitarian Universalist, liberal religion, iTunes Rev. Angela Hererra, iTunes Rev. Bob LaVallee, iTunes uuabq.video, sermon.

January 24 “Being Born” The Rev. Angela Herrera & Olivia Herrera

Although every person on earth was born, the subject of birth is conspicuously absent from religious art and literature. Angela (a former doula) and her daughter Olivia, a nurse at Dar a Luz birth center, will reflect on this, and on what being present with birth has taught them.  Unitarian Universalist, liberal religion, iTunes Rev. Angela Hererra, iTunes uuabq.video, sermon.

“Spiritual Imagination” The Rev. Angela Herrera

Whether we are inspired by science, ancient stories, or
our own experiences of transcending mystery and wonder,

Sunday, December 6

“Stillness”

The Rev. Angela Herrera

In her poem "Today," Mary Oliver writes, “I’m taking the day off. Quiet as a feather. I hardly move though really I’m traveling / a terrific distance. Stillness. One of the doors / into the temple.” Today we’ll look through that “door,” in an introduction to this month’s theological theme.

The Promise and the Practice (BIPOC Voices)

November 22

“The Promise and the Practice (BIPOC Voices)”

The Rev. Dr. Rebekah A. Savage

The Promise and the Practice is a celebration of our shared commitment to live into a new

chapter in the story of our faith. This worship centers the voices and stories of Black,

Indigenous, and other People of Color UUs, calling upon the lived experience of BIPOC

religious professionals as sacred text. It’s a turning moment; a choice to listen deeply to the

stories in our movement that have not been heard—or taken to heart—by all UUs.

Healing the Planet, Healing Ourselves

November 1

“Healing the Planet, Healing Ourselves”

We humans are tied to the land and the water and the air. It’s a vibrant system in which both the planet and the human race either thrive or decline together. In this season of drought in New Mexico, how do we bring healing to our environment and ourselves? Unitarian Universalist, liberal religion, iTunes the Rev. Bob LaVallee, iTunes UUABQ, sermon.
