“The Evangelical UU” and Teacher Dedication.   Rev.  Dr.  Paul Hull and Kavita Vansant, Acting Director of Religious Education

 “Evangelical” is derived from the Greek word “euangelion” meaning “good news.” We will explore what is our UU good news this morning. Some of our best good news at HUP is our religious education program where we educate our children and youth about religion rather than indoctrinate children and youth in a particular religious dogma.  This Sunday, we will honor and dedicate our religious education teachers as part of sharing our good news.

FLOWERS:  Given by William and Nancy Gannett in memory of Nancy Carroll Draper

SERMON:  “Moving the Planet Toward Sustainability”       Rev. Dr.  Paul Hull

Saturday, September 24 is the third global initiative organized by 350.org to draw attention for the need for climate change action.  The theme of this year’s 350.org events is “Moving Planet.”  Rev. Hull, who had a long career in environmental science and engineering before entering the UU ministry, will speak of the need to create a sustainable future through changing our communities.  He will explore the transition community movement—a global initiative to make communities sustainable and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.  Rev. Hull will ask the question “Why not here?”
