“It’s a blessing you were born and it matters what you do./What you know about God is a piece of the truth./Let the beauty you love be what you do, and you don’t have to do it alone.” — “Chalice Camp Song” by Laila Ibrahim and the Rev. Sheri Prud’homme.
The above lyrics will serve as the foundation for sharing a perspective on process theology and magic moments in the everyday. “A Personal Theology Processed through Process Theology” is the title of the homily that will be shared at the Pagosa Unitarian Universalist (UU) Fellowship on Dec. 1 beginning at 10:30 a.m. by De Anna Hoyle, who serves as the community engagement coordinator for the UU Fellowship here in Pagosa.
Hoyle is a trained religious educator and spiritual director working with people of all ages to engage more deeply to what is described as the magical in the mundane.
This magical sense is what she hopes to express in her offering.
She states, “There is something that intrigues me about those moments of synchronicity, those times when all of life’s little disturbances fall away and I am left with a sense of awe and connection — I feel held. I hope to convey a sense of wonder through stories, music with a little bit of science thrown in.”
Come with some curiosity, stay for refreshments and fellowship after the service, and join us on a journey of making friends, growing your spirit and doing good.
As part of our monthly offerings, we will gather on Dec. 8 for our Going Deeper Sharing Circle, which will begin at 11 a.m., after meditation. The sharing circle is a way to explore the sermon topics more deeply and offers a safe space to be in community with others to share what is on our hearts.
