"The word "belonging" holds together the two fundamental aspects of life: being and longing." ~ John O'Donohue
 
How do you know where you belong and to whom you belong? Is it a sense of being in the right place at the right time or a longing for something still unmet? Human beings are concerned with belonging to each other and to a place that grounds us and holds us even on our worst days. Contentment and yearning, being and longing, every day we are only guests in any home we know.
 
When have you felt you belong?
Where are you longing for more?

                                 After the Welcome                                  
Rev. Virginia Jarocha-Ernst
 
UUs are known for their generous welcome. We say we value each person and all they bring of their whole selves, and we mean it! But what happens when we get a little further into our relationships? When does the welcome end? Today, we Covenant with our RE teachers and families as they enter a new year of religious education. And we  invite you to join a Covenant Circle to feel a deeper sense of belonging.
Music by *ImpromptUU Singers, Elaine Held 
and Louise Chernosky.
 
*Folks of all ages are invited to join our multigenerational pop-up choir, the ImpromptUU Singers. Simply arrive by 10am to learn the song, "Whoever You Are, We Welcome You", and we'll perform it at the beginning of the service.
 
Don't forget to sign up for a Covenant Circle here.  
And register children and youth for Religious Education here.
