SUMMARY:Worship Service - "Ministry Beyond Our Walls"
DESCRIPTION:Namaqua reaches out beyond our walls into our neighboring community in many ways: personal inspiration\, our half-plate collections\, and our Social Justice Ministry\, to name a few. What about more broadly than this? Namaqua takes part in a larger denomination that includes other local congregations as well as organizational arms such as the UU Association\, the UU Ministers Association\, and the UU Service Committee. Some of our interactions have been highly beneficial; some have been rocky. Worship Associates Doug Stewart and Pedro Lopez explore what this means for us in taking part in a broader ministry beyond our walls. \n  \nClick Here for the Zoom Link!

SUMMARY:Worship Service - “Earth Song: Music Sunday”
DESCRIPTION:“This dark stormy hour\, the wind it stirs. The scorched earth cries out in vain. But music and singing have been my refuge\, and music and singing shall be my light” \nThis refrain from Frank Ticheli’s beautiful Earth Song is one of the pieces that the choir will be sharing on this day\, our first Music Sunday.  We will explore our connection with\, our responsibility to\, and love for our beautiful planet through song.  In musical composition\, we often hear the interplay between dissonance and harmonic resolve.  It is not a large leap to think about how we experience that same conflict and resolution in our natural world. Each voice/birdsong\, each breath/gust of wind\, each heartbeat/ocean wave holds a part in how the music/environment may coalesce or fall apart.  Please join Music Director Ryan Marvel\, Rev. Dana Lightsey\, the NUUC Choir\, the UUkes\, three individual soloists\, a piano trio\, and more for this very special service on the eve of Earth Day. \n  \nClick Here for the Zoom Link!

SUMMARY:Worship Service - ”We are Many\, We are One” - Rev. Dana Lightsey
DESCRIPTION:In a world that celebrates the success of the individual as a winner and more worthy than others\, we also see how that perspective and values contribute to an imbalance of wealth and worthiness in the lives of countless others. As UU’s we see and value the interconnected web of life.  Our theme this month is “The Gift of Interdependence”.  Perhaps this is where our theology begins.  Join Rev. Dana\, Debbie Gentry\, and Ryan Marvel for this service celebrating our Interdependence. \n  \nClick Here for the Zoom Link!

SUMMARY:Worship Service - “It's 2024. Let's Talk about Spiritual Practices” Rev. Roger Butts
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps you are like me: a little worried about 2024. A little anxious. Democracy in the US seems frail. There are forces that appear to want to weaken democracy moving forward. Our political landscape is dysfunctional and divided. As we continue to dream and build the beloved community\, what can we do to stay focused and grounded? Let’s explore that together. One thing I’ll suggest is maintaining spiritual practices.\n\nClick Here for the Zoom Link!

SUMMARY:Worship Service - “The Power of Radical Hospitality” - Rev. Dana Lightsey
DESCRIPTION:There is an epidemic of loneliness and isolation in our country today\, and many of us feel it. Radical Hospitality invites us in with deep compassion.

The transforming power of Hospitality is about healing ourselves and each other through the power of love\, together. The invitation is open. Pass it on! \n  \n\nClick Here for the Zoom Link!
