February 5 -“Where Do We Come From? Where Are We Going?” Thomas Starr King is famous for observing “Universalists believe God is too good to damn them while Unitarians think they are too good to be damned.” With the merging of our two great faiths 50 years ago, we have grown even less concerned with questions of the hereafter and more focused on the here and now. Yet we cannot dismiss the need to find meaning in the mystery of our creation and the finality of our existence. Student Minister Bruce Beisner will lead the service. Adult RE, 1:30pm to 3:30pm, on book “A Chosen Faith.”
August 21-“Naming and Claiming Our Faith.” During a 1992 vice-presidential debate, Admiral James Stockdale famously asked “Who am I? Why am I here?” He got a lot of heat for seeming to not know what he was doing. But in fact, do any of us really know for sure? For his first service and sermon with us as minister of Hopedale, Bruce will explore the need to explore these timeless questions for ourselves and as a faith community. Knowing what we no longer believe is not enough to sustain us. We must strive to name and claim the spiritual truths that inform our lives and imagine new ways to put them into action to transform our world. Leader: Bruce Beisner, Student Minister.
