Voices United: The Journey
Sunday morning at 10am
with Diane de Marco
We are on a journey. It is a challenging one with a new learning curve as we acquire knowledge in how to stay connected, express our discontent but continue to evolve. Diane DeMarco has been a long time Unitarian Universalist practicing psychotherapy in Cambria, California.

It’s a Summer Surprise in WE!
Here’s your hint – shine your light
Did you enjoy Sunday’s Time for All Ages?
Sam led a discussion on how we all have different words for similar ideas. No one is wrong, just different, and that’s okay.
“Imagine being with a group of other kids, lying on a hill, looking up at the sky. One says, ‘Look at the clouds!’ Another says, ‘I see a dragon!’ A third says, ‘I think that’s a ship sailing in the sky!’ You all laugh because you’re looking at the same sky—but seeing different things. And that’s okay! You’re just using different words, different imaginations, different ways of seeing.”
Have you ever looked at the same thing as a friend and seen something different?
How do you feel when someone believes something different from you? What helps you stay open and kind?
In Unitarian Universalism, sometimes we’ll talk about being on many different paths but sharing the same mountain. However you choose to think about it, we can still listen, learn, and sometimes even change how we see things. It makes our world so much bigger, and so much kinder. I think we can all agree that this world could use a lot more kindness.
It’s that time of year!
Bring your backpacks, book bags, laptop cases, purses, or whatever container you use to help you through the year. We will hold a short ceremony during the Sunday service, filling our bags with all the love and support we need to carry with us. Everyone with receive a special charm to remind them of the community that wishes them nothing but joy in we do.
