Both/And and Beyond
September 23 is Bi Visibility Day, which by rights ought to be a Unitarian Universalist holiday. Why? Because no matter what your sexual orientation, the existence of bisexuality models both/and thinking, which is so important to our journeys as spiritual seekers engaged in a “free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” Without both/and thinking, we’re confined to boxes; with it, we can not only escape, but go to exciting, affirming places. And what happens beyond both/and? Worship leader: Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern Worship Associate: Thida Cornes Special music: Martin Manley, jazz piano Follow along in the order of service: 9:30 am order of service: bit.ly/uucpa_oos_20210919_93011:00 am order of service: bit.ly/uucpa_oos_20210919 Video of the September 19, 2021, 11:00 am service with copyrighted and private information removed.

Helen Kreps, Remarkable Palo Alto Unitarian
Release Date: 05/17/2020
Description: The order of service is https://bit.ly/2Z6zF9N. One of the most interesting figures in the old Unitarian Church of Palo Alto that existed from 1905 to 1934 was Helen Kreps. A brilliant scholar, she was inspired by seeing a woman minister, Rev. Florence Buck, preach at the Palo Alto church, and after a brilliant career at Stanford went on to prepare to become a Unitarian minister herself. When the influenza epidemic hit in 1918, she volunteered as a nurse, contracted influenza, and died. The story of Helen Kreps has a lot to tell us about heroism, feminism, and the importance of controlling pandemics. Worship Leader: Rev. Dan Harper Special music: Veronika Agranov-Dafoe, piano
