In June, our Annual Unitarian Universalist General Assembly took place on line. Our denomination voted to place Love at the Center of how we articulate our faith. Join us to hear about what’s going on at a national level and learn more about current trends in Unitarian Universalism. This is Rev. Nica’s last service before her summer break.

Popcorn Summer: The Value of Pluralism – What is pluralism, and what do super heroes have to do with it all? Join us this Sunday and throughout the summer as we explore our many Unitarian Universalist values and inspirations.
Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.
