Past Services

In a service that celebrates individual uniqueness as a means of manifesting change, service leader Laurie Stuart will explore probability and possibilities. The service will use the work of Mike Dooley, author of "Manifesting Change and "Infinite Possibilities."

The Upper Delaware Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will welcome in the New Year with a service of shared readings and brunch. Bring your favorite reading about new beginnings and a dish to share to welcome in the new year and a new start to an intentional year of spiritual exploration and growth.

Gather in the spirit of transformation in this late afternoon one-hour service on Christmas Eve.

The service will feature carols and the presentation of Lorenz Graham's "Every Man Heart Lay Down," the story of the birth of Jesus, offered in the idiom of the West African native.

Refreshments and fellowship follow.

Tom Kane, writer for The River Reporter, will speak about his life's journey as told in his current book, "Bad Church, Good Church: A Memoir of a Former Catholic Priest." This will be the second in a series of services presented on the subject of "Transformation."

"Bad Church, Good Church" is not a theological treatise. It is the story of a man who grew up at the beginning of the Great Depression in a poor Irish-Catholic neighborhood in Philadelphia and who was a priest for 10 years after spending 10 preparatory years in the seminary. During his tenure as a priest, Kane found himself in deep conflict with the harsh moral positions taken by Catholic leaders, finally rejecting their positions and leaving the priesthood and finally the Church. He no longer considers himself a Catholic or a Christian but lives an ardent and quiet spiritual life following his own conscience.
