This Sunday, Feb. 16, the Pagosa Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will once again feature a sermon from Foothills Unitarian in Fort Collins, which is part of a series called “No Matter What Happens.”
The sermon, entitled “The End is Never the End,” is delivered by the Rev. Sean Neil-Barron, associate minister, and will be streamed during our service beginning at 10:30 a.m..
Neil-Barron will take us on a journey to explore and states, “No matter what, there is a mess to clean up, all around you … just because hope seems to be gone does not mean hope is at an end.”
The inspiration comes from the Rev. Theodore Parker, a radical 19th century Unitarian minister and theologian who shared in a sermon in the 1850s: “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 towards justice.”
Our familiarity of this message comes from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his reference to a similar theme in his speech from 1968. This timely theme comes back again as we witness injustices in our country and in the wider world.
We come together in community to confront our own judgments as we practice living our values of interdependence, pluralism, justice, transformation, generosity and equity, all centered in love. We are a community of free-thinkers, encouraged to learn and grow.

We meet at Unit B-15 of the Greenbriar Plaza, 301 N. Pagosa Blvd., on the north side facing the Pagosa Peak.
Meditation practice begins each Sunday at 9 a.m. and is open to those wishing to begin or deepen their practice.
