The Gift of Remembering

Past event
May 28, 2017, 10 AM

Sunday Service at the Unitarian Universalist Church with Rev. William Charles Freeman, Ph.D.
On this Memorial Day weekend, we will remember and honor Vermonters who have served our country and who have died doing so. And in remembering them, we will have a conversation about what it is to live a conscious life, filled with vitality and spirit in active engagement and in quiet moments of stillness and reflection as we begin to re-member ourselves. To live consciously is to be in the present moment and in doing so, we exonerate ourselves from the dictum “an unexamined life is not worth living” (from Plato’s Apology as he recollected a speech of Socrates). Then, as John McQuiston II suggests, we can “. . . use the light of life to live fully in our time.” The gift of remembering is that going forward we can live our lives with greater awareness, appreciation and love.
Held at the church, 21 Fairground Road, Springfield, VT. Everyone welcome!
