Solitude and Presence

What does it mean to be alone? What does it mean to be with someone? What is the difference between aloneness and loneliness? How can we be truly present to someone? Drawing from Julian of Norwich, Fred Rogers, and Susan Cain, we will contemplate solitude and presence in the name of social justice. 

The Things That Matter

Fresh from their triumphant Stone Soup appearance, the ESUUC Players return in Brenda S.’s new holiday play. When foul weather forces a group of people to take shelter in a local church, they are sure their holidays are ruined. It takes some very unexpected visitors to give them a different perspective.

Spirals and Labyrinths: The Spiral Path of Awakening

ESUUC hosts the Fifth Sunday fellowship. This Sunday, we embark on a sacred journey through the spiral and labyrinth, ancient symbols of growth, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening. As we navigate these sacred paths, we’ll reflect on how life’s twists and turns lead us to insight. We’ll explore the labyrinthine journey through meditation, music, and communal reflection. With a labyrinth borrowed from East Liberty Presbyterian Church.
