First Unitarian Universalist Society of New Haven

Fellowship and refreshments after service.

March 3: “Meditations on the Power of Minimalism.”
T. S. Eliot said midwinter spring is its own season . . . suspended in time, between pole and tropic.” A good time to reflect on the beauties and consolations of the small, the subtle, and the abstract--the things that are hardest to put into words but sometimes speak to us the most forcefully. Readings from Eliot, The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting, the Tao Te Ching, and others. Coordinated by Anne Cherry.

March 10: “Not Just Lead Into Gold--Slavery Into Citizenship.”
Readings from current published works on the New England Colony & efforts since 1956 to protect wealth from democracy. Coordinated by Ben Ross.

March 17: “Beyond the Pale: A Celebration for St. Patrick"
Unlike the Jews, who were often put within walls, the Irish have had a long experience of being walled out, physically and socially. What can we learn from their history of discrimination? Coordinator: Francis Braunlich.

March 24: “The Silver Rowan ot the Earth Queen by the Deep Water.”
The name of the season gives us our image as we enter spring, while Venus declines in the morning in the phase of Water. The rowan is the tree of magic and we celebrate the magic of the Earth that brings new life. Deep water warns us to pay attention and take care. Incense will be used in the service. Co-ordinated by Gaianne Jenkins
