Sharing Our Histories

History is not only the study of our past, but also the sharing of it. We each have a family history and a cultural history, which may involve the history of one or many nations. The collection of our personal histories shapes the story of how we came to be born in this moment in time. Our histories have beauty, tragedy, and gaps. Our histories might give us comfort, anger, pride, shame, or unanswerable questions. Sharing the stories of our histories helps us confront how our histories make us feel and gives us the ability to create a guide for how to accountably live our lives in the present moment in time, for we cannot change the past, but we can shape the history that will be told in the future.

We will host an in-person and virtual worship service on Sunday, November 27th at 10:30 am.

Please submit your Joys and Sorrows through this online form. If you submit a message by 9 am, we will try to read it that Sunday. Thank you for your patience as we are adapting to best serve you all! Note there will only be one service time so that we can gather together as a whole community of faith. You can still give to the shared offering through “text to give,” mail a check to the office with “shared offering” in the memo line, or go to our website and hit “give” on the upper right or click here. This Sunday’s shared offering recipient is the Unitarian Universalist Advocacy Network of Illinois
