What Would Mary do? Easter Sunday Message

Ministerial Intern, Beth Monhollen, shares with us a message about Mary Magdelene, and how her works would be viewed today. She also talks about trans women of color, and how Jesus and Mary Magdelene would have worked for their inclusion and acceptance.

A Helper

In today’s message, Rev. Lee talks a bit about how, in the bible, Eve was originally identified not as a partner, but as “a helper.” We then get to hear from Carol Ruark, a WellSpringer working with disadvantaged children.

Threads of Purpose

Today, Beth Monhollen speaks with two guests. Steve Waldman talks about his volunteer work as chief engineer with a local fire department, and Majid Alsayegh talks about his work in interfaith connection, especially in the Middle East.

To Be of Use

Rev. Lee speaks with two guests: Julie Choi and Tiffany Shoffner, about their work in sales, and how their jobs have come to mean more to them than they initially expected.

Seeing Over the Ridge

Lay preacher, Kathleen Higgins, shares her story about how her initial goals of being a teacher have landed her in a teaching role she didn’t quite expect.

Communicating Love

Guest preacher, Caroline Bright, begins by telling us some history of Unitarian Universalism, and the role women have carved out in the tradition. She also shares some stories about her prior work as a flight attendant, and a particular moment when she connected with someone on a flight.

Consider the Lilies

In today’s message, Beth Monhollen speaks with WellSpringer, Matthew, about his work as a translator. Matthew shares his experiences working in this field as a freelancer, and speaks about the challenges and joys of his work. To close, Matthew and Beth share a prayer in 5 different languages.
