Thought for Contemplation

This week’s Thoughts for Contemplation were selected by Dennis Perkins.

“Twinkle” has the honor of co-leading the upcoming worship service at the UU Church in Waterville with Dennis on Sunday, January 26th at 10:00am.

The theme is: “Stewards Recruiting for the Army of Light”

Thoughts for Contemplation:

“The universal divine organization and the natural system (is long and challenging)…

The seed does not at once become a tree; the embryo does not at once become a man; the mineral does not suddenly become a stone. No, they grow and develop gradually and attain the limit of perfection.” 

~ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

“We need a social vision that is as morally compelling as identity politics but does a better job of describing reality. We need a national narrative that points us to some ideal and gives each of us a noble role in pursuing it. That’s the gigantic cultural task that lies ahead.”

~ David Brooks

Thoughts for Contemplation

This week we have two Thoughts for Contemplation in preparation for our MLK Service”

“What happens to a dream deferred?” 

– Langston Hughes

“We must combine the toughness 

of the serpent and the softness of the dove, 

a tough mind and a tender heart.” 

– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our Favorite Things Service June 25th in Waterville, Maine

Join Us this Sunday, June 25th ! in person + online 10:00AM Eastern.
69 Silver Street, Waterville, Maine 
Theme: “Our Favorite Things”
This service will explore what we like most about our lives and our communities, about what our spiritual communities offer to us, and also about the sources of our Faith.

We will come to understand why the things in our lives that matter to us, matter to us.

And, we will look at examples in psychology, history, symbolism and synchronicity that help explain why humans assign value and honor with ritual that which is most important to us, personally and in the groups we are part of.
