Topic: Aging
In modern society, aging has a lot of negativity associated with it. But isn’t a long life a blessing? How old are you now, and how old do you feel? What do ‘old’ and ‘young’ mean to you? If you could be any age right now, what would it be and why? Let’s ponder these and other questions about the pace and passage of a lifetime.

Joint Service with Unitarische Freie Religionsgemeinde (UFR)
UURM is planning a joint service with the Unitarische Freie Religionsgemeinde K.d.ö.R. (UFR) on Sunday, November 7th, at their lovely church building in Frankfurt (Fischerfeldstraße 16, 60311 Frankfurt am Main).
The theme of the service is 'My Unitarianism'. Instead of a homily, there will be several smaller contributions in which members of both congregations will be sharing where their relationship with Unitarianism comes from, what they hope this relationship is bringing into their lives, how they feel about this relationship right now, and what their hopes are for the future. There will be translations of all contributions - German ones for English contributions and English ones for German contributions. There will also be sharing of joys and concerns, musical performances, and lunch following the service.
At 9.00 am, musical rehearsals are taking place.
The service itself starts at 10.30 am.
Lunch will be offered at 12.00 pm.
Members of both congregations, and anyone else interested in joining, is welcome!

That Difficult Question: Are You Religious?
How many times have you stumbled around trying to answer the question you've been asked, are you religious? How much anxiety does the question cause you? Do you have a ready and short answer? This talk discusses why this is a harder question for some members of UU congregations than for many people in other religious (there's that word!) traditions. Our answers to this question may differ, and our explanations are probably highly individualized. That individualism runs counter to many religious (and there it is again!) worldviews, and that can increase the unease in answering the question. I share my unease, and since I have more time than I usually have when asked the question, I try to explain my answer to it.

Blue Boat Home: Earth as Sanctuary
3 February 2019 - 2.00 p.m.
The Earth is our sanctuary, our mother, our blue boat home. There's too much distracting us from the reality that we need to act soon and decisively to save our climate and our many beautiful natural sanctuaries from permanent, irreversible damage. How do we draw from our UU faith to take meaningful action?

We'll ring in the new year and celebrate Three Kings Day by gaining inspiration from proverbs.

We often look to others when we yearn for change. Surely, there is someone else who could do a better job than us - someone more skilled, more prepared, someone who knows more, someone who has more power. Yet, as the Margaret Mead quote goes, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Torda 450 - History in Our Own Backyard
21 January 2018
Join us as we look back 450 years ago to some of our Unitarian beginnings. On January 13, 1568, in Transylvania, Hungary, two members of King John Sigismund's court issued a Statement of Religious Tolerance that became one of the main influences for Unitarians. Their Edict points to "the grounding commitment that faith is not endowed with purpose or accountable to a government or an empire, but to the Sacred, the Holy; that a free pulpit and a free pew are necessities for free religious communities."
Led by Jeff E.
2 December 2018 - 2.00 p. m.
There is free on-street parking. Please join us afterwards for coffee and conversation.

We Have No Hands But Ours
4 November 2018 - 2.00 p. m.
We often look to others when we yearn for change. Surely, there is someone else who could do a better job than us - someone more skilled, more prepared, someone who knows more, someone who has more power. Yet, as the Margaret Mead quote goes, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
