| You Don't Need to Be a Yankee to Appreciate Robert Frost, Part II Because I heard from a number of folks who appreciated last summer's service that focused on Robert Frost's poetry, and because those who didn't appreciate it made the mistake of not telling me, and because I enjoy Robert Frost so much, this service will, again, draw on his poetry. |

| The Gift of Action As a point/counterpoint to last week's reflection on prayer, let's consider the blessing that comes with an active life of work, creativity, and caring. Parker Palmer, who tried the contemplative life of a monastery, came to the conclusion that he is not a monk but an activist. How can our actions add to our spiritual growth? |
Rev. Kathleen Ellis | Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church, Cedar Park (Austin), TX | 07/16/2006 |
| On Death…and On Life! UU minister Forest Church writes that facing the inevitability of death has awakened his understanding of what religion means. He sees religion as, "our human response to the dual reality of being alive and having to die." How might we consider the unsettling topic of death in order to help us focus on the time we are given for life? |
Anne Herndon | Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis | 07/16/2006 |

Allison Eskildsen | Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax, VA | 07/16/2006 |

| Eating Ourselves to a Better World | Roxanne Redd | Second Unitarian Church of Omaha | 07/09/2006 |
| The Gift of Prayer Whether prayer is a conversation with God, an invocation of the Goddess, or listening to the quiet within one's own heart and breath, it has a place in contrast to stressful, sometimes frenzied living. For some of us, it is an essential part of our lives. Next week we'll look at the active life and its relationship to spirituality. |
Rev. Kathleen Ellis | Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church, Cedar Park (Austin), TX | 07/09/2006 |
| A "Da Vinci Code" Reprise It was in March 2004 that I gave a sermon on Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. Since then, the book (hardback edition) has sold over 40 million copies, there's a large Da Vinci Code spin-off industry, and, of course, there's the movie. There are also the Gospel of Judas and the Gospel of Mary (Magdalene). Join me this morning as I take another look at what has happened to "Da Vinci" in the last two years. |

| Remembering the Dream The role of the prophet has always fascinated me. The prophet has the complex task of reading the signs of the time and communicating the message to an often reluctant audience. What does the prophet accomplish? How can we open ourselves to receiving the message? |
