[Via Zoom] Joining the Unitarian Church of Montreal – Remembrance day

All of our veterans who were members of “The Greatest Generation,” and who carried our Remembrance Day wreath for years, are gone now. They were among the generation that had a vision of the United Nations and who wrote and ratified the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. As members of subsequent generations, we are called to carry forward their legacy in a time when we are challenged by our own fears of a potential Third World War looming before us. We take this day to mourn what was and what is, and to find sustenance to uphold our dreams of the basic human right to live in peace.

Worship team: Rev. Diane Rollert, Katharine Childs, Sandra Hunt, Eleuthera Diconca-Lippert, Shoshanna Green, Indigo Micciche.

Make Your Life an Adventure of Love
Guest speaker Stephen Sims

Musical guests: Back Alley Roots (Jane Critchlow, Roger Haughey and Larry Cassini)

Each of our lives is a silent promise … discovering your hidden self … making our lives into a work of art … listening to stories of transformation.
Author Stephen Sims served as program director of a drug rehabilitation center in his native Montreal, and later, as director of a hospitality house for the homeless. Growing out of this experience, Steve set up an awareness education foundation to foster personal transformation – to encourage physical wellness, emotional literacy, and spiritual realization. Steve also initiated dialogues with educators and community development workers throughout the Eastern Himalayas. This cross-cultural experience was the catalyst for him to begin writing, and to establish an interdisciplinary wisdom forum to study diverse healing arts, transformational sciences, and the teachings of different spiritual traditions.

There is no need to register in advance to join us in person.
