Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Sunday Service
 
Speaker: Rev. Ernest Mills, Guest Minister

By Kate Greenaway
UUFSMA member

Join us on June 22nd for a Unitarian Universalist perspective on the Wizard of Oz!

Rev. Mills invites us to consider the Wizard of Oz as an imaginative story of the universal human quest for love. Filled with a wealth of symbols depicting a young girl's struggles and hardships in coming of age, discovering her identity, and finding love, the story highlights the "journey without distance." These themes are universal and patterned after what Joseph Campbell described as "The Hero Journey." We will venture into the Land of Oz with Dorothy and discover what she teaches us about facing our own fears and finding the courage to be and become. 

Our guest minister is Rev. Ernie Mills, who has been Minister Emeritus since 2015. Rev. Mills was ordained in the Unitarian Universalist ministry in 2007, after leaving his long-time affiliation with United Methodism in 2002. He earned a Master of Divinity from Duke Divinity School and the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. After being ordained, he became minister of a small congregation with the Unitarian Universalists of Transylvania County in Brevard, NC.

Rev. Mills has a strong interest in Depth Psychology, and this, along with his love of folk guitar and mountain storytelling, bring an added dimension to his ministry.

Unitarian Universalism is a liberal faith centered on shared values for living. Our UU Fellowship welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We gather not around a belief in divinity, but around community, love, compassion, social justice, reverence for nature, and the spirituality of music within the interconnected web of existence.
