The reflection was delivered on Sunday, September 23, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister, at the Humanist Service. DESCRIPTION The insatiable human desire for more often gets portrayed as a negative characteristic that leads to excess. What if its origin is a deep knowing that there is more to our lives then we often perceive or actualize? Do you feel the tug for more of something in your life? Perhaps it is the most important message you are avoiding. As we continue on the theme of "calling" I will be exploring the positive possibilities of our yearnings for more. The idea for this message came from a conversation with Ryan and Sarah Darby who won the prize of choosing a sermon topic and a song in last year's Love and Light Gala. The song they chose is titled "More" from the band Phish. Rick Fortner has been working on a special version of the song for the services this Sunday.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, September 9, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. DESCRIPTION Where are the places that gather people in meaningful ways? There's a big difference between being in other people's company and encountering people in ways that change us all. This weekend is both All Souls annual Homecoming Sunday and the opening of Tulsa's new $460,000,000 "Gathering Place" park. All Souls is a gathering place for people of various backgrounds and beliefs. If you've taken the summer off this is the day to return to All Souls. If you haven't seen someone at church for a while, please reach out and invite them to come. The choirs have some wonderful music planned and our youth group will be serving fajitas for lunch as a fundraiser. We will have tables on the lawn and in Emerson Hall to gather and eat. Come to a service and then perhaps head to checkout the new park afterward. *Musical solo by Majeste Pearson.

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, September 2, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. DESCRIPTION "Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling." ―Vincent van Gogh There is a tense, intense and intended inner tug in the soul, that is so irresistible, that no spiritually alive person can ignore. This tug is both magnified and amplified—an urgent demand of the soul and on the life. The volume of this summons becomes the very signature of your soul, the spiritual acoustics that add divine resonance. This calling is the interior decoration of your soul and the external architect of your life. It is the nature and nurture of the Self and substance of your innate realities and proclivities. There are patents of the soul, whose copyrights you own and must honor. These patents and patterns invite the official vocations, and the only honest ovations, that your spirit recognizes and relates to. All others are superficial. Vocation is a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career, occupation or personal objective. It derives from the from Latin word 'vocare', which means 'to call, call out, or call out to'. The late Howard Thurman said, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. What the world needs, is people who have come alive." Join your All Souls community in September for thematic messages on 'Vocation and Calling' that will inspire and encourage you to recognize the voice and choice inside you and our spiritual community's purpose, calling and vocation here in the city of Tulsa and around the world!

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, August 26, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Carlton D. Pearson, Affiliate Minister. DESCRIPTION What do you believe and why do you believe it? And how do your beliefs add to or subtract from the quality of your life? How have your beliefs changed and how has your change in beliefs changed you? I have entered a new age and stage in my life and my beliefs about life that has greatly altered my world view, my view of the world, and the way the world views me. I've never felt better!

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, August 26, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION How can science not just inform, but inspire your values? I wrote a paper in college about the relationship of science and religion. The idea was we had to choose between science and religion or have a strong theory of how they can interact and relate. Thirty years later, my thoughts on the subject have, you might say, evolved! Many of us are looking for a community like All Souls where we values science wholeheartedly and also sees a role for religious knowledge. What is a balanced relationship between science and religion or between evolution and love?

The sermon was delivered on Sunday, August 19, 2018, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Barbara Prose, Executive Director of Ministry. DESCRIPTION What eight letter word can have one letter taken away at a time, until there's only one letter at the end and every time a letter is taken away, there's a word left, including the last time? A riddle is a puzzling question posed as a problem to be solved or something or someone difficult to understand. In school, we learn a lot of important things, from basic arithmetic to algebra. But often, we learn the most important lessons when we're simply curious, fooling around with a problem we can't solve, or creating something for the sake of creating. As we celebrate our children and grandchildren who are heading back to school, and lift up our members who are continuing their education, we'll also honor the overwhelming importance of spiritual and intellectual freedom. Most of the great discoveries of the world have been made by women and men who were driven by the desire not to be useful, but to satisfy their curiosity. How do you approach the riddles in your life? What have your learned in the process?
