Dec. 21 – Abbess Ayya Sudhamma: ‘Journey to Wisdom’

Abbess Sudhamma will share her amazing journey in traveling the world and studying Theravada Buddhism.

Abbess Ayya Sudhamma was raised in Charlotte. She was an attorney before leaving home in 1998 to become a Buddhist nun. She received her novice orientation in 1999 and higher ordination in 2003. The Abbess is the first American woman ordained in Sri Lanka, and was recognized by the UN in Bangkok as an “Outstanding Woman in Buddhism.” Abbess Sudhamma served as the resident monk at the Greenville, S.C. Buddhist Vihana for over eight years, and visited a monastery in Australia for most of 2012. She is now glad to be back home as Abbess of the Charlotte Buddhist Vihara.

Dec. 28 – Rev. Pat Jobe: ‘Eat, Drink and be Merry’

On the last Sunday of both the calendar year and the church year it’s important to again take stock, feel some gratitude even for those among us who believe there is nobody to whom to be grateful. Unitarian Universalists in the modern world honor all kinds of celebrations, holy days, holidays and combinations thereof. We will have just passed Christmas and the burning of the Yule Log by adherents of the nature-based religions. In a few more days, there will be eating, drinking and merrymaking to welcome the new year.

Jan. 4 – Rev. Pat Jobe: ‘Waking from the Lie of Separation’

Ministers shoot for the moon and sometimes hit the top of the barn. It is a daunting challenge perhaps summed up by a quote attributed to Mark Twain: “A man carrying two cats down the street with their tails tied together is getting ten times the experience in carrying cats as the man watching him.” How do we awaken from the lie of separation?

Jan. 11 – Rev. Pat Jobe: ‘Deeds not Creeds’

Reading Steven Charleston’s book comparing the story of Jesus to the Native American tradition of vision quests, we find some encouraging similarities to the journey of early Unitarians as they considered how professing believers could own slaves.

“Together is Better" Lunch
2026-01-18 13:00 - 14:30
What a great way to start the New Year! We’re joining with members of Temple Kol Tikvah, our neighbor on Davidson’s South Street, for lunch from 1-2:30 p.m. that day.

This gathering has grown out of the visit we enjoyed when Rabbi Becca spoke to our Fellowship for Easter services. We all agreed that we would like to get to know our neighbors, and what better way than to break bread together? We are also asking our Quaker Friends if they would like to join us as well. Lunch will be inside at the temple. All we need to bring is dessert and homemade breads. See our 1/15/26 Newsletter for details on more details of the event/parking/food details and our contact members.
