Michael Jackson's Heal the World
(Think about um, the generations
And ah, say we want to make it a better place for our children
And our children's children so that they, they
They, they know it's a better world for them
And think if they can make it a better place)
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place it was brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread, we stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world
So make a better world
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul?
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be god's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place
Heal the world

Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world (heal the world)
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
You and for me (for a better place)
You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)

Welcoming Congregation Classes

Our Welcoming Congregation Renewal is almost complete for this congregational year 2022-2023. The last component for our community is for us to grow in knowledge about our LGBTQIA plus members, friends and neighbors. This six part training offers us an opportunity to dig deeper. To learn more. To truly be as welcoming as we can be.

Join me and the Welcoming Team as we engage in each of these sessions. We are meeting Friday evenings and Saturdays. We understand that everyone won't be able to attend when we are meeting. The good news is that all members will have access to view these important sessions at your own time. We will do each session discussion portion hybrid. I encourage everyone to participate as much as you can.If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact Reverend Gordon.

Let’s do this, get our official renewal from the UUA and proudly hang our new flag!

In faith,
Rev Gordon

Take your knowledge and skills to the next level in terms of trans identity and how to create congregations that are fully inclusive and affirming of the full breadth of gender diversity. Over six sessions you will deeply explore the intersection of trans identity, spirituality, and faith community, and gain the grounding, context, and skills to transform yourself and your congregation.

If you are unable to attend the meetings IN PERSON of the Welcoming Congregation Course: Transgender Inclusion in Congregation - you can watch it at your convenience online. Please RSVP to the Reverend AND CC: the Administrator that you are interested. You will be sent a special code to be able to watch the video course. Discussion will happen on the following dates:

Easter Sunday

Sunday, April 9, 2023

Come Worship with the UUs!

Easter, Something Old, Something Maybe New, Something Possibly for UU’s.

Easter is a difficult holiday for Unitarian Universalists, probably the most difficult of all that recur in our liturgical calendar. It fosters mixed emotions, some pleasant, some troubling, some from long ago memories filled with family, friends, treats and trips.

Come spend Easter Sunday with us at UUCLV. Come remember, come rejoice, come reflect, come use your imagination as we look at this Holiday once again.

LYRICS

PURE IMAGINATION
Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls
The chocolate room
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
Explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

IMAGINE by John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
