11:00 a.m. – Service: In Search of Sanctuary: Reflections on Holy Ground, led by Min. Justin McCreary

Growing up, I watched many Vampire movies and shows. I read stories such as Bram Stokers Dracula. As an aspiring minister I had an issue with the vampire mythology of Dracula, Nosferatu, Spike, etc. What makes ground holy? I try to put myself into the place of a vampire every time I walk into a church. What does it feel like? Does my skin start to burn? Do I feel heavy or slow? Does lightning come from the sky? Is there a leveling system based on the holiness of the ground? Do cathedrals and community churches rank the same? Where do Synagogues lie? How about Mosques? What about a UU church? Would their skin prickle, or would they feel welcome in our Sanctuary?

11:30 a.m. – Religious Exploration:

• Chalice Children: Wonderful Welcome – Through stories, song, guided play, and arts and crafts, the Chalice Children explore and share the intangible gifts of welcoming central to Unitarian Universalism, such as kindness, love, friendship, hospitality, and fairness.
