Transformation from the Inside Out: Men, it is time now to change |  Click here for the Order of Service for Sunday, March 12, 2023 |
Our worship theme for this month of March is “ Transformation,” and this implies that transformation is good, right? That it’s needed, and necessary. You hear this in self help programming and in a variety of faith traditions, where the implication is that we need to become different, that we need to be changed.
I have carried this ideal within me for long years. I don’t think we are perfect or done yet just as we are. Yet I do believe we may always work towards becoming our best selves.
Again, I wonder about this call to transformation: does it imply there is something broken or wrong about us that needs to be fixed? Do we have to subscribe to a lifetime of reimagining ourselves or even change?
Join us at UUCLV as we open the dialogue on this subject and hopefully discern where we stand on the topic.
