UU Hymn of the Week: “Gather the Spirit”

Week of February 28, 2021.

This week we feature guest musician Michael Tacy, Music Director at the Gathering at Northern Hills, and his harmonized version of Jim Scott’s hymn “Gather the Spirit”, #347. This is an immensely popular UU hymn and fits thematically with a variety of worship services. The video to this song includes the lyrics. So, as you listen and sing along, you can allow the precious lyrics to sink into your soul.

Jim Scott is a composer, guitarist, and singer, and has a website that features his many musical contributions and recordings: jimscottmusic.com. Enjoy “Gather the Spirit.”

Find this hymn on the Heritage Church homepage.

A Lighter Read for Babes with Books

Wednesday, March 17, 2021, 7:00 p.m. Via Zoom.

Changing tone from last month’s deeply serious non-fiction selection, this month the Babes with Books (Heritage’s women’s book club) focuses on Ellen Foster, by Kay Gibbons, at their March 17, 7-9 p.m. Zoom meeting. One book club member billed this novel as a much lighter, quicker read than last month’s offering. Other reviewers called Ellen Foster “lovely, breathtaking, and sometimes heart-wrenching.” The story follows the honest and perceptive eleven-year-old Ellen Foster as she moves through various homes until she ultimately discovers one where she is wanted and loved.

If you are a part of the BWB Google Group you will automatically receive a Zoom meeting invitation six to eight days in advance. If you would like to join the group, contact Denise in the office at:

If you want a one-time only invitation, send an email at least two days in advance to Barb at:

Our further meeting dates and read selections are currently as follows:

  • April 21 – Dear Edward, by Ann Napolitano
  • May 19 – The Ten Thousand Doors of January, by Alix E. Harrow

All women members and friends of Heritage Church are welcome at any BWB meeting, whether you have attended previously or not.

Vespers Service in the Taizé Style: Nourishing Our Souls

Wednesday, March 24, 2021, 7:00-8:00 p.m.

Join us for our monthly Vespers service as we begin to emerge from the cold darkness of winter. Let us come together to let the light shine upon us, and feel inner warmth and balance while in community. We will celebrate the returning light of the Spring Equinox, and its lessons of balance in our lives with inspirational readings, music and silence. We encourage you to bring your own candle to light as we light the chalice, and a drum or shaker to play as we chant during the service.

.

If you have any questions, please contact Mimi Sinclair and Steph Tacy at:

A Zoom link will appear on the Heritage Church homepage prior to the service.

Spiritual and Social Support Group

Every Friday at 11:00 a.m., via Zoom.

A new group is being offered for anyone interested in gathering on Zoom to connect and converse with others. This group is open to all Heritage members and friends. Hosted on Zoom by Heritage member Bernadene Zennie, the group will evolve as it meets. The intent is for the group to be cooperative, leaderless, discussion-oriented, and supportive—a group that encourages listening, acceptance, spiritual growth, and caring for one another.

If you wish to be included in the Zoom meeting, please email Bernadene at:

1/25/2021.

Singing In Sacred Circle

Second Tuesday of Each Month At 7:00 p.m.

Women Singing In Sacred Circle still meets the second Tuesday of every month via Zoom. Shelley leads the chants and we mute ourselves and sing along from home. It is surprisingly nourishing! SISC continues to be a source of deep friendship, support and healing for many women across the city. Watch the sisterhood email list for the zoom link or email:

Singing In Sacred Circle is a wonderful opportunity to share voice and spirit through song. While learning short, repetitive women-centered and earth-based songs/chants from a wide variety of traditions, all voices create an energy that is both empowering and healing. This opportunity is intended to allow women, regardless of singing experience, to share their voices in a noncompetitive, virtual safe space.

Shelley Graff, the facilitator, is a longtime teacher/healer/singer/songwriter who believes her sacred journey is guiding her to share the Singing In Sacred Circle experience with other women.

Get Mindful This Midweek

You’ve heard about Midweek Mindfulness. Maybe now is the time to recommit to this powerful, transformative, very easy and quick spiritual practice. Set a recurring reminder on your phone for 12:30 each Wednesday. Then join others in the Heritage community (and literally around the world) in five minutes – just five minutes – of mindfulness. Take a break, right in the middle of your busy and stressful week, from 12:30-12:35 p.m. each Wednesday, to breathe. To rest. To meditate. To be. Stop and smell the roses. Look at the clouds passing overhead, or a flower in the grass (or on your desk). And know, as you are doing it, that many others are doing the same. Join them in mindfulness and spiritual connection.

August 2018.
