May 2, Small Change for Big Change - Youth Group

Our world is full of big problems. Can one person make a difference? This Sunday we will join together and see just how much change can be made by one person. We’ll help the Faiths Act Fellows raise money for mosquito nets in Africa. We’ll learn how to make small changes that become big changes. Don’t forget to bring your small change for a special collection!

This is potluck Sunday

May 9, Folk Healers, Diviners and Mystics - Jacqueline Moore

Jacqueline Moore is a Saskatoon freelance writer. Her recent book, The Saskatchewan Secret: Folk Healers, Diviners, and Mystics of the Prairies, takes us out into the villages, the forests and the suburbs and introduces us to thirteen of this province’s naturally gifted healers. Each of these people credits a higher power in healing; each of these people have witnessed that power manifest.

May 16, Living Large: Life as a Fat Woman - Erin Moulding

The news is full of discussion on the obesity crisis from the point of view of medical professionals, politicians, and scientists. What's often forgotten is that the obesity crisis refers to the bodies and lives of people whose views are not considered. In this service, a self-described fat woman will talk about her experiences with body image, identity, and the obesity crisis.

May 23, Building Community, Trusting Ourselves - Laura McNaughton

Building community is an important part of what we do in our congregation. How is that really accomplished? Unitarian Universalist youth communities deliberately set out to build community and cultivate trust in their groups. This morning we will have the opportunity to feel and experience the five steps of community building – Bonding, Opening Up, Affirming, Stretching, and Deeper Sharing. Come on down for learning, growing, sharing and games!
This is a multi-generational service

May 30, the Sacred Feminine - Panel

The Sacred Feminine has many faces and much symbolism. Many cultures have female icons and imagery that are revered; energy is drawn from this reverence to influence the everyday world. How does the feminine add balance to our world and how can our lives be enhanced by connecting with this force? Panellists will share with us how the feminine is reclaiming her role as spiritual guide and intellectual cause célèbre.

Februrary 14, Take the Railroad from Midnight to Dawn – Mary–Anne Parker–McInnis

Many of us have heard the story of the underground railroad and Harriet Tubman. Now we take the time to celebrate the courageous actions of ordinary people who, through an intricate web of codes and decisive action, defied a law they felt was unjust. Stories, reflections and songs remind us of the incredible strength forged from simple, defiant action.

Feb 21, Made in Canada: Clarity, Complexity, Compassion – Antonia Won

February 28, It's About Time – Panelists

Time flies - Time to kill - I don't have time - Passing time - Using time well. How does the passage of time shape our lives? Does time feel like a burden, or like a scarce resource?
