SUMMARY:Worship Service - November 24 - “Time Out: Time in the Important\, Non-Urgent Zone
DESCRIPTION:How do we discover our values and decide what to do about them? We all experience times when life feels too busy\, filled with urgent\, important demands. And then there are moments when things ease up\, allowing us to relax—perhaps with a non-urgent\, unimportant TV show. But true discernment lives in the important-but-not-urgent zone\, alongside other golden nuggets of life. How can we reach this space and explore? Worship Associates Doug Stewart and Scott Walker will be our guides. Herb Orrell\, Kate McCracken\, Pat McCracken\, Katie Fox\, and Janet Gillette will present special music. \n  \nClick Here for the Zoom Link!

SUMMARY:Worship Service - "Listen Up" - Guest Speaker dr. clare hammoor and Worship Associate Janet Gillette
DESCRIPTION:Since we were children\, we’ve been told to listen to other people — especially in conservative religious settings. In this service\, guest minister dr. clare hammoor and Worship Associate Janet Gillette get curious about what happens when we choose to listen to ourselves. Sometimes it works. Sometimes things go awry. But isn’t that the magic of liberal spirituality? This service is a special request from Janet Gillette who purchased the “topic of choice sermon” from clare at the NUUC auction over a year ago. \nGuest Bio: dr. clare hammoor is a collaborative educator and theatre-maker committed to justice and joy with experience teaching\, directing\, and devising in universities\, public and private schools\, professional theaters\, and prisons. clare is fascinated by object-oriented ontologies\, playing with things\, ritual work\, and interdisciplinary collaboration. \nclare has taught at New York University and University of Denver among other institutions and given lectures across the US and Europe.

SUMMARY:Worship Service - "Improv as Spiritual Practice" - Guest Speaker\, Rev. Lydia Ferrante-Roseberry\, and Worship Associate\, kathy hartman
DESCRIPTION:If there’s one thing these past few years have taught us\, it’s that life throws us curveballs. Sociologist Zygmunt Bauman has defined this era as one with a “liquid culture” — a time of constant mobility and change that is requiring all aspects of our life to be more agile. In this service\, we look at improv as a spiritual practice that can support us in a playful way as we live in these unprecedented times. \nBio: Rev. Lydia Ferrante-Roseberry is a long-time friend of Namaqua UU. She blends her passion for justice with a constant quest to live a joy-filled life. Rev. Lydia is the former minister of the Boulder Valley UU Fellowship in Lafayette. She is currently a consultant for the UUA’s Stewardship for Us Team\, and a part-time organizer for Together Colorado\, the multi-faith statewide organization committed to a multiracial democracy where all people are valued.

It is a gift\, knowing your friends have your back as you explore the deeper meaning and experience of whatever is most important for you\, encouraging you as you grow into the next phase of your becoming. You are invited to join a small group and experience the great gifts of Small Group Ministry.
