Mystery's Meetingplace"
2026-02-22 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | First Presbyterian Church of Astoria, 1103 Grand Ave., Astoria, United States
“Mystery’s Meetingplace”

Reverend Heather Janules
Unitarian Universalists often name the experience of “transcending mystery and wonder” as a foundational element of a spiritual life. This service will reflect on two contemporary stories about the intermingling of the sacred and the secular, inviting us to consider how we welcome mystery and wonder, within and beyond sanctuaries on Sunday morning. Service written by Rev. Heather Janules, UUA Congregational Life Staﬀ in the New England Region, and presented by Laura Gordon.
Artwork by Rhonda Piasecki. Our monthly them is “What is the Divine”.
We are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person. Masks are now optional but strongly advised. If you are not feeling well, please wear a mask, or attend via Zoom.
Child Care Is Provided.

"Can We Be Our Brother's Keeper"
2026-03-08 12:00 - 13:00 | First Presbyterian Church of Astoria, 1103 Grand Ave., Astoria, United States
Member Nancy Cook will approach this month’s theme from a variety of lenses, including her own experiences as a mother, sister, instructor of literature, environmental activist, and engaged citizen of these challenging times. Her sermon will draw upon the Biblical story of Abel and Cain [Genesis 4.9], James Baldwin’s Sonny’s Blues, shame researcher Brene Brown, and wisdom gleaned through Al-Anon Family Groups who emphasize setting boundaries as an important form of self-care which allows for sustained, genuine support of others. How can we resist injustice with an expansive sense of brotherhood while taking care not to overwhelm ourselves with the burdens of harsh judgment or fears for tomorrow? This week’s sermon will present one woman’s reflection on this important theme.

Child Care Is Provided.
