"Honoring Our Grandmothers" |
If you would like
the Women and Religion Committee to present a Sunday service in your
church,
please contact W&R Roadshow Goddess
Gretchen
Ohmann!
Here's an example of what we do: |
The weekend
of March 24 and 25, 2001, several members of the Women and Religion Committee
traveled from their various homes to Macomb, Illinois to present a Sunday
service for the UU Fellowship of
Macomb.
The theme
of the service was our grandmothers and other women mentors in our lives.
Readings of original poetry and prose were included, along with several songs
written by or about women. The committee members performed some of the music,
and accompanied the congregation in singing other hymns. Members of the UU
Fellowship of Macomb joined the committee for the readings, and prepared
additional music by women composers. People responded to some of the readings
by speaking of their own memories of their grandmothers.
W&R
women who were able to attend: Gretchen, Carol, Sally, Elly and
Gayla.
Thank you, UU Fellowship of Macomb for your warm and friendly
welcome!
