Traffic tips for one service and two services.

We leave some previous sermon topics here, to give you an idea of the things we talk about. It is easier to show "eclectic" than to spell it. We have three sermon collections, in the navigation bar to your left.

We shift to ONE service, at 10:00 am, on May 19, 2013.

Self-Awareness: The Alchemy of Compassion
June 23, 2013(One service, at 10:00)
April Hejka-Ekins

For many of us, the value of compassion is the foundation for leading a spiritual life. Perhaps it is worthwhile to ask: how do we know our actions are of benefit to others? This talk will explore three elements essential to living compassionately. April Hejka-Ekins is professor emeritus of Public Administration at CSU Stanislaus. She and her husband, Jerry, are co-founders of Alexandria West, a non-profit group dedicated to the study of Eastern and Western Wisdom Traditions.

Reclaiming Church: Discussing God in a Theologically Open Faith
May 26, 2013 (ONE service, at 10:00)
Julie Brock

What is greater than us that connects us? How do we conceive of our interdependent web? What is the source of our call to justice? What is the source of our lives? These ponderings are as old as our consciousness. May we ponder and worship together.
Ms. Brock is student - and very promising one - at Starr King. She is Co-president of the Star King Student body, with Jim Lewis. She is a Facilitator of the Continental UU Young Adult Network. She is one of four Starr King recipients of a scholarship from the Davidoff Leadership Fund, which let her attend the General Assembly. And, the UU Church of Detroit respected her enough that she was one of their delegates.

Sticking Together in Mercy
May 19, 2013
Rev. Joe Cherry

Rev. Joe first wonders if he can change the question of the Pentecost from the Miracle of Speaking in Tongues, to the Miracle of Hearing Each Other. He then talks about our community, where we strive to hear each other, despite our differences.

Mama's Day
May 12, 2013
Rev. Joe Cherry

Rev. Joe speaks tells us to love our real mothers, not the image of the perfect mother. He urges us to celebrate the work and generosity of our mothers by helping to heal the world with love.

Being Unemployed
May 5, 2013
Rev. Joe Cherry

Rev. Joe offers two chances to pick a sermon topic at our annual talent auction. The first, Wonder Woman, (April 21) was a real crowd-pleaser. The second, won by G. Oliviera, will be on an all too real topic; being unemployed.
Read the sermon.

For the 2012 - 2013 Church year, the churches in our cluster - Stockton, Livermore, Fresno and Bakersfield - are using a theme for each month, to allow for a deeper examination of a subject. May's theme is "Mercy".
