April 21: When the Tomb Is Empty
Service Leader: Rev. Meghann Robern
Service Coordinator: Steve Lennon
One of the gifts we have as humans is our ability to make meaning out of the chaos thrown at us by an often random universe. How do we keep hope alive? How do create and sustain trust in each other and in our futures? This Easter, we will explore together how we rebuild and restore when the metaphorical rock is rolled away and we find the tomb empty.
Hymns:
- 269 Lo, the Day of Days Is Here
- 266 Now the Green Blade Riseth
- 288 All Are Architects (Hymn of the Month)

From the Minister's Study - April 2019
We are a community that gathers around shared values, and lives into those shared values through covenants. Covenants are living documents that reflect the promises we are making to each other about how we are going to be with each other. And, because of this, most of the covenants we make as Unitarian Universalists are behavioral.
We have a congregational covenant, for instance, spearheading by the Shared Ministry Team a few years ago. Copies of it are hanging in the sanctuary foyer and in the Pine Tree Room downstairs. We regularly enter into covenants as a congregation with people who are serving in key roles: our Board of Directors, our Faith Development guides, our Pastoral Care Associates. We also have covenants with the parents and guardians of the children in our community, when we dedicate ourselves to them, and with the folks who join our congregation as members. You entered into a covenant with me, as your minister, when I was installed last October. Covenants are about relationships, and relationships are key to who we are and the choices we make as UUs.
