Faith Formation at 9:45 a.m.
"Still I Rise” at 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary
Led by Danny Booth — On this first day of Black History Month, we use a poem by Maya Angelou to remember the resilience of a people that fought hard for their freedoms; a people who rose above the oppressive state which our forefathers placed upon them. We look to this inner strength to help us embody that same resilience today.

“Note to Self: Small Reminders of Sweet Resilience ” at 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary
Led by Rev. Carin Bringelson — Tis’ the season for candies and flowers, but what messages do they send? Aren't our bodies homes that are worth caring for in every season? How might we take care of our bodies – and the bodies of our neighbors – so that all might flourish with resilience? Today we will share reminders of a Liberating Love with each other.

“Dandelions and Other Role Models of Resilience” at 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary
Led by Rev. Carin Bringelson — Dandelions are the epitome of resilience. This morning we will explore dandelions and resilience through small group spiritual practices. Worship participants will choose between five different “practice rooms” (music making, storytelling, crafting, poetry writing, or movement meditation) before returning to the collective group. Come prepared to move with resilience around the building.

“Resilience for the Long Haul” at 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary
Led by Josh Wagner, PCUU member — What does it look like to actually embody resilience when we're tired? How do we show up for each other AND show up for ourselves to help make sure that we can return to a new normal baseline in our lives? Or maybe a “new normal” isn’t what we actually want? Come explore together.
