Earth Is in Our Hands – Gary Eldon Rickerd
A pragmatic futurist speaks on nature, foresight, and the children’s inheritance of Earth.
Featured musicians: Gary Eldon Rickerd, guitar and vocals; Jennifer Husky, songleader; Mary Nistler, piano.
About our guest speaker: Gary is a seasoned leader with a 25-year career in the contracting industry. He rose from an entry-level employee to a 50% owner of a 100-person firm, ultimately navigating a successful merger that secured the long-term future of his entire team. Following this professional milestone, he pivoted from the corporate world to a deeper calling: advocating for a science-based understanding of our existence. Transitioning from a youth spent distributing religious texts to a life dedicated to "Nature’s Mission," he now uses his business acumen and philosophical insights to champion the findings of great scientists. As a father and a dedicated student of the natural world, he is committed to helping humanity align its purpose with the reality of the planet we call home.

Blooming and Bumbling: The Art of Flourishing with a Side of Oops
Rev. Krista Taves
We live in such a culture of perfection. How many of us have heard “If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all.” It’s time to turn this on its head. If you think you’re doing it perfectly, you’re missing the important things. There is no growth without the risk of making a mistake.

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.
