WEST PARIS — It is hard to believe we will welcome spring next month. For now, let’s nurture the warmth of community. All are welcome to join in worship at the First Universalist Church of West Paris, Sundays at 9 a.m. Music is performed by Tom Coolidge. Refreshments following the service.
February 12, “It’s Not Easy Being Green” led by The Rev. Fayre Stephenson. In 1962 Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring gave us a jolt of reality – the reality of the dire consequences of environmental pollution. At this service, we’ll explore our progress as individuals and as a congregation in restoring the environmental health of our Mother Earth.
February 19, “Puritans vs. Anglicans: How 17th century Maine was an early refuge for religious believers from the small-minded and tyrannical tendencies of the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay.” The service is led by Jennifer Wixson, who, with her husband, is a farmer and author living in Troy, Maine.
February 26, “Epiphanies” led by The Rev. Fayre Stephenson. The Merriam-Webster dictionary says that an epiphany is “usually a sudden manifestation or perception of the essential nature or meaning of something or an intuitive grasp of reality through something (such as an event) usually simple and striking.” Join us on this Sunday as we consider the religious and personal significance of epiphanies.
