This month's Gatherings • vulnerability


Vulnerability is our theme for the month of March. As Rev. Richard S. Gilbert reminds us:
…Our lives are like fragile eggs.
They crack and the substance escapes.
Handle with care!
Handle with exceedingly tender care
For there are human beings within,
Human beings as vulnerable as we are…

This month we will explore the question - how can we be vulnerable enough to grow and change and still protect our fragile hearts. Or is that even possible? Does the vulnerability of open hearts require that we accept the risk?

Our Sunday Giving Partner for March is the Human Rights Alliance of Santa Fe. This organization was founded in 1993 as a response to harmful legislation targeting lesbian and gay people. Their mission is "to educate, engage, encourage, and celebrate LGBTQ+ inclusion, pride, and acceptance for all people." You can learn more or donate on their webpage, and a staff member will join us in worship on March 26 to share more about their work.

Just a reminder - our current COVID guidelines ask that all who wish to attend services be fully immunized and that masks continue to be worn in the UU Santa Fe building on Sunday mornings and at other times when more than ten people are present.

Sunday, March 5 | Open Hearts: Vulnerability and Courage | Rev. Gail Marriner  
There is no way around it, when we dare to love we become vulnerable. Join us for a service exploring the beauty and strength to be found in vulnerability. Brene Brown writes that, "The definition of vulnerability is uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. But vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our most accurate measure of courage." (Braving the Wilderness) We will spend time this week focusing on how we can learn to accept and grow, rather than living in a reality where our fear of vulnerability becomes our Achilles's heel.

Sunday, March 12 | The Spirit of Enough: Gratitude, Hope and Generosity | Rev. Gail Marriner
In a culture that reinforces scarcity how do we move from a feeling of insufficiency to a feeling of enough to a feeling of gratitude for our abundance and the desire to share what we have? One of the stories that Martin Luther King told was of his visit to a school where the students were grateful to share a lunch of two apple slices and some crackers, but we live in a world where we are conditioned to want, not to be grateful for what we already have. Come explore how to become  a people centered in "The Spirit of Enough."

Sunday, March 19 | Love Endures | Guest Speaker: David Davis
​Rev. Gail and UU Santa Fe welcome guest speaker David Davis of the Memory Care Alliance and guest musician Michael Margolis in this service about balance and change and sustaining relationships. The Memory Care Alliance is a local organization with the mission to "provide ongoing education and support to families impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia, replacing social stigmas with compassionate understanding, and a vision for life after diagnosis."

 Sunday, March 26 | The Vulnerability of Being Authentic| Minister Kimi Floyd Reisch
​The last week in March is Transgender Week of Visibility. Around the country, more legislation is being introduced each week targeting the rights of parents to make health decisions for their children and seeking to make it illegal for anyone (children and adult) to access medical care related to gender affirmation. Removing people's right to dignity and care is not new and similar waves have targeted people with disabilities, women, and people who belong to specific racial or ethnic groups has happened throughout our nation's history. This week we will explore how we can demonstrate love and support for people who are vulnerable because they are authentic to their own identity. Special Offering: Human Rights Alliance of Santa Fe
