February, 2025 Worship Services

Feb. 2, Small Boat, Big Storms, Rev. Bill Neely

Finding peace begins within, but peace can be difficult to even seek, much less practice, when life and the world seem particularly anxious and threatening. Fortunately, the wisdom of the late Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, and other teachers of peace, can help guide us when times are turbulent. How can we grow and maintain our peace when storms abound?

This service will also include a celebration of our newest members! If you share our values and would like help strengthen our congregation by becoming a member, please contact Rev. Bill at Bill@UUPrinceton.org.

Feb. 9, A Shared Soup-er Bowl, Revs Jennifer Kelleher and Bill Neely 

Celebrate Souper-bowl Sunday at UU Princeton! Join us for an all ages service as we experience a shared lesson. By working together, with everyone contributing what they can, a greater good may be achieved. Please feel free to “beef this up” if you wish. You are invited to bring your favorite soup, stew or chili to share after service for a special brunch, with proceeds benefiting our Children & Youth Ministry.

Feb. 16, Pieces and Patches of Love, Rev. Bill Neely

The phrase “perfect love” is often used to describe God’s unmarred and unending love for creation. Meanwhile, we less-than-perfect humans co-create a messier and less constant kind of love that guides us toward a good life, even as it regularly challenges and confuses us. Let’s explore the kinds of human love that bring meaning and purpose to our days.  

Feb. 23, The Question Box, Revs. Bill Neely and Jennifer Kelleher

An old favorite returns! Instead of a sermon, Revs Bill and Jennifer will take turns responding to your questions. What is grace? Sin? The meaning of life? Is pineapple really a suitable pizza topping? Ask away! Email us your questions (Bill@UUPrinceton.org and/or Jennifer@UUPrinceton.org) or write them down that morning and we’ll answer as many as we can. 

Sneak Peek for the March, 2025 Worship Services

March 2, Against All Odds, Kirsten Shearer and the Conscious Consumers Ministry, with Rev. Bill Neely

As humanity makes progress our challenges seem to grow in lockstep. Today, many of us feel paralyzed in the face of such gargantuan existential challenges such as climate change. We ask, “how can I, just one person, possibly do anything to save the world?”  In this service ahead of Lent we examine how a practice of intentional daily contemplation can lead to actions that make a difference. We’ll also ask how Unitarian Universalism might better harness these same practices in order to surmount what feel like impossible odds. A special introduction to UU Princeton’s newest group: Conscious Consumers and the second annual Lent for the Earth challenge.
