Hearing Loop: <\/strong>The sanctuary has a Hearing Loop System which is an ADA approved technology that transmits sound wirelessly directly to hearing aids. If you wear hearing aids and your T-coil is activated, you can pick up the signal from the sound system (if you have hearing aids, but your T-coil is not activated, please speak with your audiologist). There are also sound amplifying headphones (available on the credenza in the Parlor or from one of the ushers) if you do not have hearing aids, but could benefit from amplified sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSunday, April 5, \u201cResurrection After Empire\u201d
Emily Richards, CRE<\/strong>
Around the time that Jesus was born, Rome\u2019s 500-year-old republic collapsed into an empire, an authoritarian regime marked by persecution, endless wars, and enforced belief. As our own republic shows signs of similar decay, what hope can the resurrection story hold for us today?

Sunday, April 12, \u201cEmbracing Possibility\u201d
Rev. Peaches Gillette<\/strong>
The concept of embracing possibilities is deeply optimistic, allowing us to move away from rigid, predetermined outcomes. But let’s explore whether all situations, or life experiences, present or offer possibilities.
Music by Jayne Demakos, Harp and Hymns<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday, April 19, \u201cThe Challenge of Universalism\u201d
Magdalen Lindeberg, FUSIT member<\/strong>
All are loved, all are saved: how can we approach our Universalist heritage and commitment in divided times?
Music by Travis Knapp, Piano and Banjo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sunday, April 26, \u201cTurning of the Wheel\u201d
Emily Richards, CRE<\/strong>
Join us for a multigenerational celebration of the gifts of the earth and the warmth that comes at the midpoint between spring and summer and reminds us that anything is possible. Dance around the Maypole, share in story and song, and experience the joy of the turning of the wheel of the year.
