NEXT MEETING:
At last! Lehigh Valley WOMEN will explore the spiritual life of the Buddha. Please join us at Union UCC, Neffs on the evening of 8/17/08 from 6-8, when our guest speaker will be Professor Sor-ching Low, whose concentration is Far Eastern Religious Studies at Muhlenberg College. We will get a bit of history as well as the basic tenets of the faith, and even have a chance for a brief spiritual meditation in the Buddhist tradition. Please join us and bring a friend!
Mission
Statement
We are sisters of many faiths with many names and expressions. We believe we
are called to share the common fundamental tenets of our faith with one
another and with the world with the goal of spiritual enlightenment,
understanding and tolerance.
We all honor a greater power
We all honor human dignity
We all honor each one's need for spiritual growth
We all honor life.
UUCC Guiding
Scripture Ephesians 4: 2-3
“Be
always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one
another. Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means
of the peace that binds you together.”
Prayer
Heavenly one,
We are women of many faiths and traditions. We have crossed distances of both
place and mind to gather in the name of love and hope. Here tonight we ask
you to bless each of us in our common struggles. We pray for our world full
of suffering and violence. Help us to work against intolerance with hearts
full of love remembering that no occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants
bitterness. May peace begin in each of our hearts and through our faith
may we come to better know and love one another and be strengthened to carry
that love into our community and the world. Amen.
