SUMMARY:Blessing of the Animals - Multigenerational Service (No Religious Exploration)
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to bring your favorite furry\, hairy\, feathered\, scaly\, or shelled pet to the Sunday morning service at FUUSN. We will celebrate our kinship with all living creatures in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and share one of his iconic stories of compassion. This will be a service for all generations\, and we encourage you to invite pet-loving friends to join us! \nYou can bring your beloved creatures along or bring a photo of them; we will also offer a memorial for pets who are no longer with us (who can also be represented with a photo). \nDeciding whether to bring your pet or bring a photo? If you can say yes to these things\, please bring ‘em: \n\nI can keep my pet in my physical control (via leash\, carrier\, box etc.) indoors for 45 minutes\nMy pet won’t be overly stressed by the presence of other animals or humans\n\nIf you are someone who is allergic to animals but would like to be present for the service\, we recommend that you wear a mask and sit in the pews near the rear of the sanctuary to limit your exposure.

SUMMARY:An Uncommon Education: The Allen School
DESCRIPTION:An Uncommon Education: The Allen School is a 40-minute documentary film that highlights the educators\, students\, and legacy of the West Newton English and Classical School\, better known as the Allen School (1854-1900). Founded in 1854 by local Unitarians\, educators\, and reformers Nathaniel T. Allen and Cyrus Peirce\, the Allen School was a remarkable fifty-year experiment in progressive education. From coeducation and racial integration to physical education and learning through play\, the school pioneered new ways of teaching and learning in the United States. The Allen School was located on the site where FUUSN now stands. \nProduced by Historic Newton\, this documentary describes foundational events in the early life of our historic church. A panel discussion with these distinguished guests will follow the film: \n\nKaty Haywood\, Co-Historian of Myrtle Baptist Church\nSara Goldberg\, Historic Newton Curator of Manuscripts and Photographs\nLisa Dady\, Historic Newton Executive Director\nJoe Hunter\, Producer of An Uncommon Education\nBob Ellertsen\, Moderator and FUUSN member\n\nFree and Open to the Public. Invite your friends!

SUMMARY:Being BeLoved
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Parisa Parsa \n \nWe round out our month of exploring the Gift of Liberating Love with a meditation on belonging: giving and receiving the gift of connection in community. Reflecting on the story of Ruth and Naomi\, we’ll explore the risks and the rewards of claiming one another and the kind of love that binds us beyond kinship. What deepens and enriches our connections\, and what can threaten them?

SUMMARY:Bending the Arc
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Parisa Parsa \n“I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one\, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends toward justice.” \nThese words from Unitarian minister and theologian Theodore Parker in 1853 have taken on new life in their more succinct form paraphrased by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (“The moral arc of the universe is long\, but I believe it bends toward justice.) How do we calculate the curve and complete the figure of the arc\, when so many well-intentioned folks have gone astray? What guides us in the work of creating justice\, and what can keep us humble?
