Michael will be sharing some of his personal physical and spiritual healing journey, which eventually brought him to UU
Danbury; a spiritual home where he feels very comfortable and is comfortable spiritually educating his child.

This spiritual odyssey is completely aligned with our 3rd and 4th Principles: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to
spiritual growth in our congregations; and a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.

How many of us remember an unexpected act of loving kindness given to us in our time of need by a total stranger? How many times have we lent a hand to help a stranger – out of the goodness in our hearts, with no expectations of return – satisfied in the knowledge that we have made a positive difference someone’s life, however small?

Jim will explore the daily practice of loving kindness as the embodiment of the Unitarian Seven Principles – a way of life that generates peace
in our inner selves and conveys dignity to all in our community.

The sermon will also explore using forgiveness – to ourselves and others – as a way to remove a roadblock preventing us from using loving kindness to nurture happiness, hope, and gratitude within and around us.

Please join us for an inspirational look at ourselves and the world.

Certain words evoke negative reactions that can affect our spiritual growth as individuals and as a congregation. Today we’ll talk about how religious post-traumatic-stress can stunt our spiritual growth, and what we can to do heal from it.
