Rev. Victoria Poling presents Joyful Resistance, Joyful Service

Sunday April 6, 2025

In today’s wisdom story, a holy fool tells a king, “wisdom is important, but joy gives wisdom its light. It is in laughter and play that we remember why we toil and strive. Life is not only about legacy—it's about being alive in this very moment." Let’s go for a treasure hunt for joy, looking for ways to resist the oppression of toil, and to enjoy our lives of service.

Rev. Victoria Poling (she/her) is our half-time minister at KUUF. She also serves as the minister to the Vashon Island Unitarian Universalists.

The KUUF Grief Support Group now meets the first Sunday of the month. The next meeting will be Sunday,  April 6 at 11:45 am in the Admin Conference Room (building across the breezeway from the Sanctuary.)

April 6: Joy Found in Music (Make a joyful noise!)

In this session the group will look at how joy can be found in music. They will be taking inspiration from the well-loved and widely-used saying, “Make a joyful noise!” They will most certainly be literally making a bunch of joyful noises.

Soulful Home: April 13th

Soulful Home: April 13th

Soulful Home is an ongoing parent group meeting that usually meets the third Sunday of each month following the service. However, because the third Sunday of April is Easter, Soulful Home has been moved to April 13th. Parents are invited to bring a sack lunch for themselves and for their child(ren). Children will remain up in the Matan Building for childcare while parents meet to build community and explore the Soulful Home resources. Soulful Home is a program through Soul Matters that supports families as they explore the sacred in everyday spaces by providing materials to help parents integrate Unitarian Universalism into everyday home life. 

April 13: Joy Found in Foolishness (“For the fun of it!”)

In this session the group will be exploring how joy is found in “foolishness.” Think fun, silliness, jokes, and the good-hearted frivolity that makes one happy to be alive. They will be taking inspiration from the well-loved and widely-used saying, “For the fun of it!” Even though it will have passed, the session will also give them a chance to celebrate and have fun with April Fool’s Day.

April 20: Easter & Ostara

This morning is a multi-generational service. Children of all ages will remain in the sanctuary with their parents as we all worship together.

April 27: Joy Found in Nature (“Take time to smell the roses!” & “Nature is the best medicine!”)

In this session the group will explore how joy can be found in nature, with a special nod to Earth Day. Often the focus on Earth Day, is what actions can be taken to save the Earth. In this session, the group will explore the other side of the coin, focusing on how Earth can save us with its deep and simple joys. They will be taking inspiration for the well-loved and widely used sayings, “Stop and smell the roses!” and “Nature is the best medicine.”
