This is the final installment of a sermon series inspired by our UU Principles, as viewed through the lens of the cartoon series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The six main ponies from the popular kids show each embody different qualities and display different talents. Twilight Sparkle’s talent is that spark of magic that unites a group into a community. We will look at our sixth principle, “The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all,” with Twilight Sparkle’s gift of unity in mind.
Our Third Sunday Potluck follows the service. Please bring something tasty to share.
“The cultivation of happiness is one of the most important skills anyone can ever learn. Luckily it is not hard when we know the way to water and nourish these wholesome seeds, which are already there in our consciousness.” These are words of Thich Nhat Hanh, describing the work of neuropsychologist Rick Hanson. In this talk I will offer easy practicable steps developed by Hanson for touching the peace and joy that are, in Nhat Hanh’s words “every person’s birthright.” We will practice a simple meditation based on self-directed neuroplasticity practices developed by Hanson, founder of the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom and affiliated with the Greater Good Institute at UC Berkeley.
No one person or committee here at UUFP is responsible for the activities that go on here. What we mean by this is that ANYONE who has an idea for a fun Fellowship activity, whether it be a book club, a game night, a movie night, a support group, a fundraiser, a pancake breakfast, or anything else that interests you, that can make use of the UUFP facilities, you can plan it!
The event can be a one-time thing, or a regularly scheduled event. The only rule is that you should take your plan to the Committee Council for support from other Committees and also Board approval, if necessary. If you need help with the event, ask for help during Sunday morning announcements, and people will step in to help.
Committee Council needs to know so it can be put on the calendar, and so we don’t have two events at the same time that need to use the same UUFP resource, for instance the kitchen or the social hall.
In short, you can enrich the lives of people at UUFP by bringing us together with activities we like to do together! Thank you!

“Life is a brief interval between birth and death,” writes Richard S. Gilbert. And he asks us to consider the question: “What shall we do with that interval of time?” This morning, we explore the wisdom shared by people at the end of life’s interval. What common themes are expressed by those who have the opportunity to look back and reflect on how they spent their lives? What matters most? And what, as it turns out, doesn’t?
What evolutionary purpose is served by living so long after our reproductive years are done? This service explores the spiritual and social fertility of every life stage in a beloved community, an inclusive fertility especially enhanced in our later years. Not likely to be a grandparent himself, JD Stillwater takes the opportunity to scrutinize the grandparenting role, with an eye towards broadening and deepening its power and promise for every life stage and relationship.
This is the next installment of a sermon series inspired by our Unitarian Universalist Principles, as viewed through the lens of the cartoon series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The six main ponies from the popular kids show each embody different qualities and display different talents. We will explore our second principle, “Justice, equity and compassion in human relations,” with the help of Fluttershy’s patience and kindness.
This will be a special event. Join us in the sanctuary where we’ll combine our usual Sunday Service and Coffee Hour into one hour of UU fun remembering famous Unitarians, Universalists, and Unitarian Universalists. We’ll play the ever-popular game, Name that UU, and a brand new game, “What Did UUs Do?” You’ll learn about some extremely innovative, inventive, gifted, and just plain quirky UUs who did some amazing things that we bet you didn’t know. Join us for the UU games with coffee, tea, and celebratory refreshments!
