Cowboys and Choirs
Steve Stapenhorst, church member
No man is an island? Some try to be. The cowboy of legend saves the day on his own, and rides off, never to be heard from again. The choirs succeeds when everyone blends in a powerful whole. Loners and joiners . . . what are you? Do you feel guilty when you say "no" to the group? Are you scared when you say "yes" to going solo? Wherever we stand, we're all needed. Special music by Steve, Susan Castle, Katie Stapenhorst, Martin Mathews, Cary Belling and Irene Gregorio.

Staying Curious in Conflict
Megan Dowdell, candidate for Unitarian Universalist ministry
Sometimes living our values becomes a challenge when we find ourselves in passionate disagreement with someone who does not share our perspective, or at an impasse with someone we love. Conflict is often about communication, but it is also about culture -- the context of our lives shapes our relationships and patterns of interacting with people around us. Join Megan Dowdell, Visiting Assistant Professor of Ethics and Society at Starr King School for the Ministry, as we explore how to stay curious in conflict through story, sermon and song.
