1565 South Keim Street Pottstown PA 19465Sitting With the Unknown
Speaker: Emily Quarles-MowrerOften at this time of year, we are making “To Do” lists ofnew habits to acquire. Krista Tippet, the founder and CEO of the On BeingProject, has a different perspective on the tradition of making a New Year’sResolution. Instead of setting a goal or a list of tasks to get through,try exploring a question. Join us as we think about the ways that holdinga question at the center of our actions for a year can help us reframechallenges, and open us up to new experiences and new ways of interacting withthe world around us.
Please join us for our regular Sunday Worship Service either in person, or via Zoom.

Speaker: MarkBernstein
Poets, novelists and self-help gurustell us to count our blessings…to be grateful for what we have. Butsometimes, gratitude doesn’t work, especially when life is hard or thingsaren’t going our way. In this sermon, I’ll make the case againstgratitude. You’ll be grateful I did.
Mark Bernstein is a former staffmember with the Central East Region of the UUA and continues to serve theregion as Adjunct Staff. He has been a grateful member of the UU Churchof Delaware County in Media, PA for the past 32 years. Mark lives inSpringfield, Delaware County.

The Minister’s Column, December 2019
What do you celebrate in December and why, and how? There are probably as many answers to this as there are UU’s. And I have not seen a direct line between the answer and people’s theology or ethnicity or upbringing. … Continue reading
Minister’s Column, October 2019
