In addition to being a professional folk duo, the members of February Sky  present UU services as we travel with our music.  We have been on the UU circuit riding path since 1998.  We are full-service presenters, providing all the music, leading of hymns and/or congregational songs, Intergenerational Moment, etc.  We also make and print our own orders of service based on the standard OOS of the hosting church.  It is nice to have someone introduce us, and/or do the "home church" elements, e.g. Joys and Concerns, announcements, etc. but we can handle those too if necessary. Services are all music-based, but are very much services, and NOT concerts.  A sampling of titles and topics is below.  We also have services for most Earth-Based holiday celebrations, the homecoming/water communion that many UU churches have the Sunday after Labor Day, Easter (for UUs!), Thanksgiving and other holidays.  If your church has a need for a particular theme or topic, we can craft a service for it.

Building a Cathedral or Cutting Up a Stone”
It has been truly said that “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”  When things don’t work out in the ways we thought we wanted, it can be easy to become angry, bitter and perpetually unhappy.  But often what is needed is a simple shift in perspective – it really is all in the way we look at it.
 
“When You Were Me and I Was You – Dismantling Gender Stereotypes”
Unitarian Universalism supports the right of LGBT folks to be who they are.  But we also need to be mindful of female or male heterosexuals whose tastes, talents, or behaviors do not fit the outline of what is considered appropriate for their gender.  This service will encourage compassion, sensitivity and support for these individuals (and, yes, Phil and Susan are two of them).
 
“The Sacred Path of the Long-Lived”
In our current culture, people who have lived past a certain number of years are often made to feel not only that they are inferior to younger people, but that they MUST lose their health, mental capacity and joy in living as they add years to their lifespan.  We believe that this “ain’t necessarily so.”  We’ll explore the wonder and joy, as well as the responsibility, of being among the long-lived.
 
“The Greatest Wisdom Is Kindness”
As Unitarian Universalists, we affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person.  This principle forms a shared commitment to be kind to everyone we meet, and especially to those with whom we share our beloved UU community.  We believe that simple mindfulness is the key to living up to this principle as consistently as is humanly possible.  This service will encourage that mindfulness.

“Humans Wrote the Bible, God Wrote Life - The Teachings of John Shelby Spong”
The word “God” can be a hot-button for many Unitarian Universalists.  But maverick retired Episcopal bishop John Shelby Spong, whose best known book is “Why Christianity Must Change or Die,” gives us some new ways of looking at the concept.  He says, “I can tell no one who God is or what God is.  Neither can anyone else – from the Pope to Pat Robertson to the Dalai Lama.  That is simply an aspect of human pretending.”  We will explore the ideas of this courageous and far-sighted man as expressed by him, and by others, in speech and in song.
