SUMMARY:Worship: “Saying Yes and Saying No”
DESCRIPTION:Unitarian Universalists believe that any religion worth its salt ought to make a difference in the world. But in these times of upheaval\, when so much that we value in our country seems to be unraveling\, it can be a struggle just to pay attention\, let alone take some kind of action. Maybe our faith has something to say about how to face the challenges of this moment without burning out. Join us this Sunday! Rev. Kathleen McTigue preaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography  \nRev. Kathleen McTigue served as a UU parish minister for 25 years\, 21 of them at the Unitarian Society of New Haven\, CT.  In 2012\,  she was hired under the joint auspices of the UUA and UUSC to initiate and direct the UU College of Social Justice\, bringing new justice training programs to congregations around the country. Since her retirement in 2021\, she has volunteered with migrants and refugees through the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network (BIJAN). She lives in Dorchester with her husband\, and is grateful to call First Parish Cambridge her congregational home.

SUMMARY:A Tree Social in the Burial Ground:  An Earth Day Workshop with First Parish in Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 26\, 12:15 to 1:15 pm\, First Parish Main Office (3 Church St) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin First Parish Cambridge’s Environmental Justice Team and Young Adults Group for a guided tree “re-connecting” walk. Assistant Minister Rev. Sophia Doescher\, Rob Moir of the Ocean River Institute\, and others will lead a meet-and-greet with individual trees and the many interconnections that embrace us all. \n\n\n\n\n\nAll materials needed will be provided. Gather at the main office of the Meeting House at 12:15 pm\, which can be accessed through the 3 Church St door to First Parish in Cambridge. This event is sponsored by First Parish in Cambridge\, open to the public\, and all ages are welcome to join.

Rev. Sophia Doescher will give a sermon\, “We are the Great Turning.” “The Great Turning” is a paradigm shift coined by Buddhist activist Joanna Macy. She describes it as a shift from an industrial growth society\, focused on consumption and destruction\, to a life-sustaining civilization. This is made possible by doing the “work of re-connecting”\, work that we as Unitarian Universalists are called to do. Join us for our Earth Day celebration\, as we reimagine and claim our place in this Great Turning.
