Chris Jimmerson, Kelly Stokes, and First UU Chalice Campers<br \/>July 16, 2023<br \/>First UU Church of Austin<br \/>4700 Grover Ave., Austin, TX 78756<br \/>www.austinuu.org<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">This week we hosted Chalice Camp, a full-day summer camp for UU kids from all around the Austin area. During worship this Sunday, they&#8217;ll be sharing some of the songs, stories, and UU history that they learned this week. We&#8217;ll also hear a Bridging Homily from a graduating senior about how their faith has informed their understanding. Join us for this youthful &#8211; and very joyful &#8211; worship.<\/p>\n<hr align=\"center\" noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"4\" width=\"300\" \/>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Chalice Lighting<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">This is the flame we hold in our hearts as we strive for justice for everyone. This is the light we shine upon systems of oppression until they are no more. This is the warmth that we share with one another as our struggle becomes our salvation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Call to Worship<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">GENERATION TO GENERATION<br \/>by Antoine de Saint-Exupery<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In a house which becomes a home, <br \/>one hands down and another takes up <br \/>the heritage of mind and heart, <br \/>laughter and tears, musings and deeds. <br \/>Love, like a carefully loaded ship, <br \/>crosses the gulf between the generations. <br \/>Therefore, we do not neglect the ceremonies <br \/>of our passage: when we wed, when we die, <br \/>and when we are blessed with a child; <br \/>When we depart and when we return; <br \/>When we plant and when we harvest. <br \/>Let us bring up our children. It is not <br \/>the place of some official to hand to them <br \/>their heritage. <br \/>If others impart to our children our knowledge <br \/>and ideals, they will lose all of us that is<br \/>wordless and full of wonder. <br \/>Let us build memories in our children, <br \/>lest they drag out joyless lives, <br \/>lest they allow treasures to be lost because <br \/>they have not been given the keys. <br \/>We live, not by things, but by the meanings <br \/>of things. It is needful to transmit the passwords <br \/>from generation to generation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Affirming Our Mission <\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">Together we nourish souls, transform lives, and do justice to build the Beloved Community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Sermon<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Text of this sermon is not yet available.<\/p>\n<hr align=\"center\" noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"4\" width=\"300\" \/>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/austinuu.org\/wp2013\/category\/sermons\/indexes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>SERMON INDEX<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Most sermons during the past 23 years are available online through this website.
