Join us for the Minister’s Book Club on Thursday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m. as we discuss Moonbound by Robin Sloan.

Robin Sloan expands the Penumbraverse in Moonbound, a thrilling far-future adventure. Eleven thousand years from now, Ariel, a boy from a remote village, embarks on a journey filled with danger, discovery, and a mission to save the world. Guided by a sentient AI with a unique view of history, Ariel faces unknown enemies, a mysterious girl, and even dragons. Blending ancient myth with futuristic wonder, Sloan crafts an epic tale of adventure, storytelling, and the boundless possibilities of imagination. And this is only the beginning.

You’re welcome to come whether or not you’ve finished the book—though the discussion is definitely more engaging if you’ve had a chance to read it.

Holy-ish: The Ministry of Making It Up as We Go and Spring Sing

Every year around my ordination anniversary, I find myself reflecting—on ministry, on this community, and on how often we all fumble our way toward something sacred. This Sunday’s sermon is about how ministry isn’t just for ministers, and how the spiritual life is less about getting it right and more about showing up, trying again, and pointing—imperfectly—toward what truly matters.

It’s also our annual Spring Sing service—a joyful celebration of music, community, and the holy-ish work of being human together.​

This year, our Children’s RE group is blending our play-based model with Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints, an illustrated collection by Daneen Akers that highlights people from diverse faiths who have stood up for justice and love, even when it meant challenging the status quo.

We’ll learn about inspiring figures like:

Bayard Rustin

Fred Rogers

Valarie Kaur

Kaitlin Curtice

Thich Nhat Hanh

Rumi

Mary Oliver

And we’ll be adding our own Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist ancestors, including Norbert Čapek and Francis Ellen Watkins Harper.

Each Sunday, elementary school-aged participants will discover one of these holy troublemakers and then explore the week’s themes in our open play spaces, including an art room, contemplation room, make-believe room, game area, nature space, music space, and makerspace.

C2: Coming of Age Cafe

C2 is a unique coming-of-age space designed to honor youth choice and support them in taking ownership of their spiritual paths, C2 is a space where youth can connect, collaborate, create, and rest while exploring the deep questions of identity, belonging, and purpose. Each week, the group will be invited to explore questions such as:

How do I honor the child I once was…and will carry with me?

What are the labels and expectations our families put on us?

Where is the line between belonging and fitting in?

What privileges belong to me, and how do I use them to support the belonging of others?

How do I honor where I come from?

How do I celebrate the unique me?

How do I prevent labels from hemming me in?

What are my core values?

What are my passions and joys?

Who do I hope to become?

How do we disagree without destroying relationships?

How do I resist “me-ism” and honor our intertwined fates?

Then youth can choose how they’d like to go deeper with that week’s theme. Whether they choose to play a game, make art, enjoy a snack, quietly reflect, or simply relax, C2 is an intentional time for youth to nurture their well-being, explore those big coming-of-age questions as they move from childhood to adolescence, and discover the answers together.

How did a camp meeting hymn from the early 1800s become “John Brown’s Body,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and then “Solidarity Forever?” This is a story of abolition, war, a Unitarian feminist, unions, and how meanings and movements shift over time. About Melody: Melody Moberg is a member of UU Wausau, a spiritual director, and a candidate for Unitarian Universalist ministry.
