"Daring to See What If... Choosing Curiosity Over Complacency" – Sarah Dashner
Complacency is comforting, but curiosity is invigorating. This sermon examines how the filter of complacency limits our vision for our beloved community and the community beyond our walls. We will look to history for inspiration from those who dared to see what would happen if they took bold action.
Featured musicians: Eliot Recorder Consort: Carl Serbell, David Nalesnik, Liz Sale, Beth Curtiss; Jan Chamberlin, songleader; David Nalesnik, piano.
About our guest speaker: Sarah Dashner is a member of First Unitarian Church of St. Louis. She attended the Unitarian Universalist Church of Silver Spring while growing up in that Maryland suburb of Washington, DC. She migrated to St. Louis, the town where her midwestern parents met, to attend Webster University. The Midwest drew her in so she stayed and found work. She is currently employed as a 2-1-1 contact center navigator for United Way of Greater St. Louis. 2-1-1 is a network of regional social service call centers. She became firmly anchored in St. Louis when she married Steve Miller here 41 years ago. They raised one son together and now live with two dogs. In her spare time, she enjoys watercolor and acrylic painting and scribbling notes that sometimes grow into sermons.

“Rachel Carson and My Mom Have Something in Common”
Roz Cook, guest speaker
Birds capture our imagination and allow us to see the world differently. Birds were the impetus for Rachel Carson to write Silent Spring which helped to spark many positive environmental changes.
About our guest speaker: Maybe it’s not a huge surprise that after all of the time she spent outdoors as a kid, Roz grew up to be a plant biologist. She still spends as much time as she can outdoors and has four bird feeders in her yard.

Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists, we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome.
