Jacquie Zarley — What Would God Do?
2025-02-16 10:30 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader — Hayley Young
Speaker — Jacquie Zarley
Title — What Would God Do?
Topic — Remember those Rubber bracelets we all wore in the 90’s WWJD? We thought it was so deep and pious to ask ourselves what would Jesus do? In any given situation. We based our answers on what we know about Jesus, Jesus was loving and healing and forgiving. He fed the poor and healed the sick, raised the dead and cared for the less fortunate. We all know what Jesus would do in any given situation. But what about God? What do we know about God? If we read all the same texts that give us insight into Jesus, we find that God is not always loving and forgiving. God is often wrathful, vengeful, and judgmental.
Jacquie will explore our human concepts of God as they show up in our lives
Bio — Jacquie Zarley is a 2020 graduate of the UU house of Studies, which is embedded within the Methodist Theological School in Ohio. She is a chaplain resident at the VA Hospital of Cleveland. She lives with her partner, Karlan, in Euclid, on the shore of Lake Erie.

Topic — From 2002 to 2008, Christopher Reynolds learned through Earth-based ways that he combined with Wisdom Sessions with his friend, Dr. Michael Olin Hitt. They called their monthly practice, The Hunt for the Holy. This soul cross-training was a small part of the effort to establish what Chris calls, Home-Making, as well as Michael’s, Braided Way. Chris says of that time: “I was able to learn at a remarkable rate during those years. I learned that each tradition has its language. Each month, both languages expressed a similar loving intention that resonated with the landscape, trees, animals, day, night, month and season of the year.”
Chris will share his field notes from this time as well as art inspired by those years that he calls, Urth.
Bio — F. Christopher Reynolds, M.Ed., is a singer, teacher and roving shaman. His mission is to sing, to teach, to restore American culture’s sacred relationships into the Anthropocene Epoch.

Dr. Paul Robinson — Through the Eyes of Extravagant Love
2025-04-13 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader — Reed Richmond
Speaker — Dr. Paul Robinson
Title — Through the Eyes of Extravagant Love
Topic —I dream of a world where there is no hate, no prejudice. A world where we live in peace with each other. A world where all children and the elderly are loved and protected. A world where Everyone’s God-given worth is honored. A world where we celebrate uniqueness and differences. A world where there is no intentional hurt. I dream of a world where each and every person accepts the awesome responsibility of creating such a world. It starts with each one of us. Let’s stop dreaming about it and work to make it happen starting in our own families and our own community. The old song, “What the world needs now is (extravagant) love…” is truer today than it was in 1965. And, yes, I am a dreamer.
Bio — Dr. Paul Robinson is a retired psychologist and NCSC professor where he taught for 24 years. He also was on the faculty at Oberlin College before moving back to the Mansfield area some 45 years ago. He was an avid bicyclist, skier, swimmer, and hiker in his younger days. Now he works a small garden and tends to his property on Possum Run Road along with his wife of 64 years while still enjoying being with Mother Nature.

Jen Gibson — Rising and Rooting: The Spirit of Easter and the Flower Communion
2025-04-20 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Flower Communion
During today’s service, we will celebrate our Annual Flower Communion—a cherished tradition of beauty, diversity, and shared community.
We invite you to bring a single flower or a full bouquet to place on the altar. After a blessing, you will be invited to come forward and receive a flower that you did not bring, symbolizing our shared connection and the gifts we give and receive in community.
This simple yet meaningful ceremony honors the cycle of life, renewal, and the arrival of spring. Each flower, unique in its own way, reminds us of the beauty found in diversity and the strength of our gathered community.
The Flower Communion was created in 1923 by Rev. Norbert Čapek, founder of the Unitarian Church in Prague, Czechoslovakia. His wife, Rev. Maja Čapek, later introduced the tradition to the United States. Tragically, Norbert Čapek lost his life in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, but his legacy of unity and peace lives on through this beloved ritual.
We hope you find meaning and joy in this time-honored tradition.

Leader — Jen Gibson
Speaker — Jen Gibson
Title — Rising and Rooting: The Spirit of Easter and the Flower Communion
Topic — A Unitarian Universalist reflection on personal growth, community, and the enduring power of shared ritual. This talk explores how the spirit of Easter and the legacy of the Flower Communion invite us to root ourselves in love, rise into authenticity, and bloom together in beloved community.
Bio — Jen Gibson is a member of All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, where she serves as both the Administrative Coordinator and a member of the Board as Trustee for Social Media, Advertising, and Growth. She also serves on the Board of the historic Universalist Herald magazine. Born and raised in the Mansfield area, Jen still calls it home, where she lives with her husband, Rob, their daughter, Carolynn, and their spirited cat, Sirius Black.
