“We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos…. our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music…” wrote Albert Einstein. The first thing we hear in life is our mother’s heartbeat, and we join hers with our own. Our hearts beat a foundational rhythm in our lives. From birth to death, we are making and surrounded by sound, rhythm and music. Join us for an experiential journey as we pay attention to the role of rhythm, sound and music in our lives.

On what is traditionally celebrated as Columbus Day weekend, we celebrate Indigenous People’s Day and look at who truly belongs in America. We are thrilled that a Chumash and Tatavian Elder, Alan Salazar, will be joining us for this service to tell the ancient story of his people on this land. Salazar is a traditional storyteller and canoe paddler and will share tales of his life and ancestors with our children and adults. Join us for this special treat. We also urge you to attend Chalice’s theatrical production of ‘Voices of a People’s History of the United States’ happening this weekend.

Aren’t we all longing for belonging in some way, to find our tribe, our people, the place where we can feel at home? For some of us, we find a profound sense of belonging in our families. For others, we find it in our communities, among our friends, in our nation or out in nature. Where do you belong? Where do you feel most at home? What is your spiritual lesson about belonging?

This year’s General Assembly in Spokane, WA was entitled ‘The Power of We’. It explored how we, as a faith, can move forward collectively rather than thinking of ourselves as individual congregations and people. Several participants in this year’s GA will be sharing their reflections, and Rev Nica will speak on the latest developments in our wider faith movement. This service will also honor our congregation’s commitment to being a ‘Welcoming Congregation’ and to preparing our community for the second annual Conejo Pride Festival.

Many people call Unitarian Universalism the religion of the future. What are some of the things that differentiate Unitarian Universalism from other religions? What expectations can we have of our faith tradition? As we gather to celebrate our Ingathering with our annual water ceremony, we look at what binds us together as a faith tradition, and what we can expect. Join us as we return to 2 services at 9:15 and 11.

Conscious conversations around race and the role it plays in our society are vital especially these days. Issues of race confront us in our politics, our daily lives and in this country’s history since its founding. This past spring 14 members of our congregation participated in a program called “Beloved Conversations” to gain greater consciousness around the role race plays in our lives. Join us as we share our spiritual realizations why it is so important to be more mindful of race.
