February 5, 2012 | | Aspects of Love
Rev. Lynngood and Faye Mogensen | | |
This service kicks off our month long exploration of love. In song and readings and story we will explore the many facets of love. Often an image of romantic love is held up as the ideal to strive for, and yet it feels unrealistic or overly simplistic compared to our actual lived experience. How do we lift up and honor a more holistic vision of love?

February 12, 2012 | | Namaste, Where Are You Going?
Kate Green | | |
Just back from walking and walking and walking in USC's highest elevation programs, in Humla Nepal, Kate Green will bring to the fellowship stories and challenges from her recent trip. The phrase 'Namaste - where are you going' occurred hundreds of times a day as she and her Nepali colleagues encountered others on the trails. Where are these communities going as food systems, weather and society change?

February 19, 2012 | | Love is More Than a Feeling
Rev. Shana Lynngood | | |
Typically, when someone says love, they are speaking of romantic, intimate love relationships. The word love, however, has a much broader set of ways it can be interpreted. The ancient Greeks, for example, had three distinct notions of love—agape, philia, and eros—only one of which had anything to do with romance. How might we see this wider view of love as a sentiment shared not just between two people, but between neighbors or nations?

February 26, 2012 | | The Challenge of Forgiveness
Rev. Melora Lynngood | | |
In this service, we focus on the love within personal relationships, and take a particular look at the challenge of forgiveness. We human beings are fallible. The maintenance of human relationships requires a way for repair and renewal when mistakes are made. How does forgiveness work? What does it require? Is it always possible? Is it always a worthy goal?
