What Change May Come
Rev. Charles Loflin, UUFANJ, guest minister
Ours is a time of immense change—both anxiety-producing and potentially transformative. Distinguishing the nature of change seems crucial. One of our Unitarian ancestors, the Rev. Theodore Parker, offers a lens that can aid our discernment.
Music: Elaine Held, Music Director Emerita
Rev. Charles Loflin serves as Executive Director for UU FaithAction NJ, our statewide action network advocating for Unitarian Universalist values through legislative advocacy. He also serves as an affiliated community minister of the UU Congregation at Montclair and is a graduate of Meadville Lombard Theological School.

March Theme: PAYING ATTENTION
The land is the real teacher. All we need as students is mindfulness. Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving its gifts with open eyes and open heart.
Pay attention to the things that bring a tear to your eye or a lump in your throat because they are signs that the holy is drawing near.
For anyone trying to discern what to do w/ their life: PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO. that’s pretty much all the info u need.
When you pay attention to something you don’t especially value, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you’re paying with your life.
Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.
Your attention is like a combination spotlight and vacuum cleaner: It highlights what it lands on and then sucks it into your brain—for better or worse.
I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts but they needed constant attention and one day I decided I had better things to do.
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.
In any moment, on any given day, I can measure my wellness by this question: Is my attention on loving, or is my attention on who isn’t loving me?
