May the Force Be With Us, Rev. Leslie Becknell Marx

Date

This Sunday is May the Fourth which has become a Star Wars day (“May the Fourth be with you”). We can imagine “the Force” to be the pull of conscience, compassion, and courage. The Star Wars saga chronicles the fall of a democratic republic and the seductive rise of authoritarian power, reminding us that the battle between hope and fear lives in every heart—and in every society. 

We’ll explore how this story about fascism, resistance, and the quest for peace and justice matters to us today. In a time of political unrest and creeping authoritarianism, we are called to awaken the Force within us with wisdom, love, and community.

When the Storm Comes, We Move Together, Rev. Summer Albayati, UUA Congregational Life Staff for the Pacific Western Region

Date

There is so much change happening right now that it may feel as if the whole world is in a storm. How do we find the way to move with and through the storm? Not running for cover, but finding who we must become to ride it out and emerge triumphant. When the storm settles, as it must, how do we help to keep the house from blowing away?  

Rev. Summer Albayati is a UU Muslim of Iraqi descent who brings extensive experience in leadership development, strategic planning, multiculturalism, curriculum development/programming, outreach, organizational development, grant writing, interfaith dialogue, conflict resolution and mediation. She currently serves on the UUA Congregational Life Staff for the Pacific Western Region. Learn more about Summer HERE.
