Our Love Affair With Football
Lay speaker Jack Miller
For decades, Sunday church attendance has been dropping, and on any given Sunday, the chance of having more men in attendance than women is about as likely as an Eagles Superbowl appearance. Meanwhile, interest in spectator sports continues to rise.
What makes the NFL such an attractive religion?

Throw Me Something, Mister
Pastor Charlie Dieterich
This could easily be a sort of critique on how society forces excluded groups to beg...
but it won't be. It is Mardi Gras season, when we can all be princes or paupers, or even both at once. “Love baby, love. That's the secret, yeah.”

Bard in UUSA Part III - Revenge of the Myth
Lay speaker Michelle Tomko
This final installment of Michelle Tomko's series is taking place during love month. To capture the mood, scenes selected to dramatize the final three principles will all include famous Shakespearean couples: Macbeth and his lady, Oberon and Titania, and of course Romeo and Juliet. Iambic pentameter will be explained using the balcony scene from R&J! And rounding out this festival of sight and sound will be UUCSJS's talented musicians and singers corralled by the venerable Barbara Miller.

Robert's Rules of Love -- Newly Revisioned
Pastor Charlie Dieterich
Dread? Ennui? Or do you approach congregational meetings with an evil grin? What if we saw them as acts of love? What if we saw the use of the democratic process as a sacrament? Would that make Robert's Rules of Order a love manual?

Resolutions: A Sharing Service
Pastor Charlie Dieterich
The old year is past, let us leave behind that which does not serve us, and take time to formulate a new song for a new year. Wear your Christmas sweater, or other comfortable clothing, we will be informal, and intergenerational (No RE Classes)
January 8
Bard in the UUSA Part Deux - The Muse of Fire Strikes Back
Lay speaker Michelle Tomko
We will continue the review of our principles via Shakespeare's characters. In this, the second installment, the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large (Julius Caesar) and the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all (Richard III) will be considered. To set the mood for our monthly theme, which in January is "Welcome," our Core of Fire dancers will perform the Trenchmore dance, popular in the 16th century, during the prelude.

Always Use Your Best China
Pastor Charlie Dieterich
The words of the prophet are written on the subway walls! But what does it mean?
Pastor Charlie gives one answer... maybe you have another?

Getting to Know You
Lay speaker Richard Grzywinski
This well-known song from “The King and I” contains the following lyrics “…Suddenly I'm bright and breezy, Because of all the beautiful and new things I'm learning about you.” How much do we miss out of life by not being receptive to learning about others, particularly strangers; their life stories, joys and tragedies. Is it possible to truly know ourselves without knowing others? Is the Buddhist practice of “deep listening to others” a key to understanding and compassion? From Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism: “Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.”

Come Into This Place
Pastor Charlie Dieterich
Many of us experience our congregation as a place of peace, of memory and prophecy. It may be time to consider whether our Sunday meeting really is a safe space, and also to ask: How will we know?
