Services for March 2004
March 7
Falling Upward Into Secrecy
11:00 am L. Patrick
Boris Pasternak, Russian author
once said, “I don’t feel comfortable around those who haven’t fallen.”
What does it mean ‘to fall?’ Who falls? What’s falling all about? What
secrets might ‘fallen’ members of a UU congregation hold and why might they
choose to hold these secrets close? L. Patrick, permaculturist, organic farmer,
professor and philosopher shares thoughts and insights.
March 14
Permission To Lighten Up 11:00
am Rev. Dave Lutz
A bumper sticker says: “Jesus
is coming – look busy!” UUs might revise it: “The world is a mess – get
busy.” Conscientious people who take responsibility for their world sometimes
feel irresponsible if they are to lighten up and go off duty. Today we affirm
this necessary balance for the soul.
March 21

Oestara Service – Vernal
Equinox 11:00 am Jennifer Wood

March 28
What If The World Has No
Lining? 11:00 am Dr. Susan L. Nelson
What if the world has no lining?
If the “cry from the hill” is merely a cry and not a sacrament, and a
momentary act of resistance, an ordinary act of kindness, is all we’ve got?
What if? Dr. Nelson is currently doing sabbatical research on the problem of
evil.
Choir Festival 4:00 pm
Allegheny will be hosting a
concert that will feature the choirs from the Pittsburgh-area UU churches. This
informal event will begin at 4:00 pm. Please join us!
April 4
Significance Of Place 11:00
am John Meikle
John will share some ideas
developed from life experience growing up in a traditional farming community in
Scotland, more recent thoughts developed through travel back to those roots, and
attempts to find connections to the land in the North Side. In particular, these
ideas will relate to issues where we (Allegheny) ‘are’ in the literal sense.
Sunday Service at Allegheny
Unitarian Universalist Church begins at 11 o'clock.
