A Beltane Mother’s Day
Join us for an observance of Mother’s Day with a Gaelic-inspired celebration of Beltane (aka May Day). A Celtic creation myth featuring Mother Danu will help us to focus gratitude on those who have mothered us, and we will consider what we might learn from Mother Danu. We will also learn more about the Gaelic holiday of Beltane, and a maypole will be set up for the children.
Today’s service leader is Georgia Platts, a member of our congregation who enjoys studying the ancient Celts and their celebrations. She is a retired Foothill College instructor of sociology and women’s studies who now volunteers on issues including climate, poverty and the corrupting influence of money in politics.

A History of Jazz
Jazz is the soundtrack to life, always changing, always evolving. As one of our youngest UUFLG members gets ready to fly from the nest, he shares one last chapter of his “history of” music series, this time, the history of jazz. This week’s sermon is that of music, the tie that binds us, where melodies tell stories of a genre that has shaped the rhythm of the ages. From the soulful strains of New Orleans to the swinging sounds of the Harlem Renaissance, embark on a musical journey through the evolution of jazz. This concert celebrates the rich tapestry of jazz, honoring its legacy while embracing its vibrant future. Experience the heartbeat of America’s greatest musical tradition of improvisation, innovation, and inspiration, featuring guest musician MJ Fitch and our illustrious musician Dave Coldren.

Stronger Together
To make our world better, each of us must celebrate and share our unique gifts to nurture our planet. As curious, spiritually independent people, our Fellowship strives to provide an open and supportive environment to explore the creativity, strength, and wisdom within the diverse experiences and aspirations of each of us. We find joy and meaning in such a community. And by working together, we strengthen our connections.
