Sunday, August 18 at 10 am: Tune In, Tune Up: The hymn writer asks us to let “that Fount of Every Blessing tune our hearts…” with Rev. Janet Newton It’s an active, if subtle, invitation for us to stay engaged, stay present, listen with care and responsiveness to the voices and hearts around us. For many of us in recent years, tuning out has become the more common protective spiritual practice. This Sunday we ask what might be possible if we chose to work - with intention - toward tuning in again. Tuning in to our world and to one another, to ourselves and our needs. Tuning in with care, compassion, and joy.
Nis Kildegaard brings a lifetime of interest in the question, “How Does Music Create Community?” to our UUSMV pulpit on Sunday, August 11. He currently serves as board president for Island Community Chorus. His father was dean of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Grand View College in Iowa. He fondly remembers growing up as part of a Lutheran branch known as the Happy Danes and will bring two hymns to us from that tradition. At Yale Nis studied psychology, philosophy and literature and served as editor of his class yearbook. He worked at the Washington Bureau of the New York Times for a year as personal assistant to Scott Reston, who happened also to own the Vineyard Gazette where Nis served as news editor from 1981 to 2004.
