Sunday, November 20, at 11:00 a.m. – WILLPOWER – Shakespeare wrote, "Our bodies are gardens, to which our wills are gardeners." In their new book, Willpower, Roy F. Baumeister and John Tierney explore the human capacity for self-control, which they argue is our greatest strength as a species, even though it’s often in short supply. Along the way, they look at "decision fatigue" and explain why self-esteem does not lead to self-control. In the end, it's less clear which is the garden and which is the gardener. Rev. Stefan Jonasson will preach.
Arborg Unitarian Church is located at the corner of Inglolf Street and River Road. Dress is informal and all are welcome. Light refreshments are served following the service.

Sunday, October 16 - Gathering Where We Did Not Sow
Sunday, October 16, at 11:00 a.m. – GATHERING WHERE WE DID NOT SOW – In his song "I Walk the Unfrequented Road," the great Unitarian poet and hymnist, Frederick Lucian Hosmer, wrote, "I gather where I did not sow, / And bind the mystic sheaf, / The amber air, the river’s flow, / The rustle of the leaf." In this season of bounty, we will reflect upon the blessings that come to us through no effort on our part. Hosmer was born on this day in 1840; he was the author of many of our most beloved hymns, including "Forward Through the Ages" and "O Day of Light and Gladness." Rev. Stefan Jonasson will preach.

Sunday, September 18 - Deep Democracy
Sunday, September 18, at 11:00 a.m. – DEEP DEMOCRACY – The looming provincial election reminds us that voting is the signature act of a democracy. However, a truly democratic society demands a depth of awareness, participation and equity that goes far beyond voting. Unitarian Universalism affirms "the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large." For us, democracy is an article of faith. Rev. Stefan Jonasson will preach.
Services resume at Arborg Unitarian Church this Sunday and will continue on the third Sunday of each month until May. Dress is informal and all are welcome.
