Feb. 28 Under the Big Top

Last year I visited the Ringling Museum, and walked around a vast replica of a circus. The three rings were depicted under the big tent. Smaller tents boasted 'side shows' and entertainments. Hundreds of people worked in concert to build a showplace, shelter and sanctuary for stars, workers, and animals. Together they created a compelling attraction that delighted all who came to see them. This is the vision I hold when we talk about this congregation as a 'community of communities.' Let's consider how we can all be served by the church-as-circus. Rev. Robin Gray

March 2010 Sunday Services

Mar. 7 Half the Sky (Family Church)

Women, we are sometimes reminded, hold up half the sky. Yet, in the twenty-first century, the brutal oppression of women continues. In some countries the sky tumbles around the people’s ears, and still they do not acknowledge the power and wonder of women’s contributions. March 8 is International Women’s Day, a good time to remember the women of all the world, the oppressions they suffer and the freedoms they’ve won. Rev. Robin Gray

Mar. 14 Catch the Zeal: 2010 (Don’t Forget About Time Change!)

Speaker Tom Moore, our VP for Worship, will give us an upbeat update on our congregation's progress in implementing our own version of UUvangelism. Tom will cover everything from our new mission statement that focuses on "inspiring all" to the specifics of what UUCT members and friends have done this past year and are doing now to accomplish that mission. He hopes to inspire and challenge us anew in keeping up our good works. Special music will feature the beautiful, powerful and inspiring singing of Marianne Tatum, a Tallahassee resident who performed and sang on Broadway. Expect a feeling of "wow!" Lay Leader: Greg D'Angelo

Second Sunday Potluck – Everyone is invited!

Mar. 21 From All the Lands, They Come Singing

Our special guests for music will be the Singers of United Lands, four musicians from four countries. S.O.U.L. is a unique quartet of four professional young adult singers - each from a different country. Their hope for creating greater understanding parallels the hope of our own Harmony Camp, which will be a focus of our special fundraising on this morning. In song and word and history, we will celebrate the hope of unity emerging from our diversity. Rev. Robin Gray

Mar. 28 A Family Affair

Our Youth Group has been studying families – all the types, sizes and purposes of them. They have taken our photos and interviewed us. They’ve learned something about many of our families, and now we turn our thoughts to the meanings ‘family’ might hold for each of us as we move through the many stages of our lives. Rev. Robin Gray
