May 4, May the Force Be With You, Rev. Bill Neely and Jason McSheene

Few film franchises have had the enduring impact in our collective imagination as Star Wars. Full of epic struggles between good and evil, moving redemption narratives, and a mystical “force” whose power is felt in hearts and minds, Star Wars is full of moral teachings and spiritual insights. On this May the 4^th Sunday, may the force be with us all as we explore what a galaxy far, far away can teach us today.

This service will also include our annual all-ages Maypole ritual, as well as a Welcoming Ceremony for our newest members. If you’d like information on signing the Membership Book and becoming an official member of UU Princeton, please email Bill@UUPrinceton.org. 

May 11 Building a Better Tomorrow, Rev. Bill Neely, Cindy Funka-Lea, Elizabeth Silverman, and Drake Baer, Worship Associate

Since we first started gathering in 1949, UU Princeton has been a proud, creative, and free voice of liberal religion in our area. Our message has always been strengthened through generous Stewardship and committed Shared Ministry. On this special Sunday, we will gather to celebrate our history and to look to a future of more hope, love, justice, and joy.   

May 18, Growing Up UU, Children & Youth Ministry Sunday, Our Children & Youth, their Adult Leaders & Rev. Jennifer Kelleher 

Our service today is co-created by our children, youth and the adult leaders who guide them in their Sunday morning gatherings. Our young people will light our chalice, share the Wonder & Wisdom story, as well as their own wisdom through reflections and song. Join us as we celebrate their growth and honor our promises to support our congregation’s children, youth and their families

May 25, Saying Bad Words, Rev. Bill Neely

The current political climate has many institutions scrubbing their communications of words and phrases that signal a commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) values. This backlash signals the importance of those values, and will end up strengthening them, but not without our voices and effort. Let’s think about today’s bad words and how we can voice them with faith and love.

Join the UU Princeton community for a modern UU tradition: the Flower Ceremony! Everyone is invited to bring a flower (any flower you wish) to worship. We’ll randomly exchange them during the service to celebrate diversity, unity, and our tradition. This service will also include our High School Graduate Bridging Ceremony. And, our Annual Meeting will immediately follow the service, and after that, our Spring Picnic! Be sure to bring your friends!
