Creating The Future of our Faith

For almost 40 years, our 7 Principles and 6 Sources have been the guiding articulation of our faith. Now the Unitarian Universalist Association is working on revisioning our future. These unprecedented times require a new articulation of what we value and what we are committed to as a faith. Join us today to learn what proposals are in the works to be voted on at our annual General Assembly in 2 weeks time. Learn about new ideas for creating the future of Unitarian Universalism.

Memorial Day is Not Just for Barbecues

Memorial Day is often viewed as the unofficial start of Summer. Yet the holiday has much more depth to it than that. Ayanna Gaines dedicates this service to one particular Marine who has passed on: her father, whom she last saw in 1992.

Love is Everywhere

In this time of growing hatred, anger, and violence, we turn our attention to the power of love. In fact, love is all around us. We need to practice opening to love, being love and spreading love. That is how we will transform our world. Join us in our loving community to cultivate more love together. Rev Nica will share stories of sustaining love from her recent sabbatical.

In Search of the Divine Mother – Wisdom from the Black Madonna

Reverend Nica’s recent pilgrimage included a quest to discover the wisdom and teachings of the ancient Black Madonna.

Love, Love, Love

This music filled service will be Reverend Nica’s first one back following her four month sabbatical. Join in this celebration of love.

Nevertheless, She Persisted

Sometimes the ultimate act of resistance comes in the shape of living your life. There may be people who dislike you for whatever reason: for who you are, for what you represent, for what you look like, for whom you love. How do you stay alive when others don’t want you to? In these cases, you resist simply by existing. However, this may not be as easy as it sounds. In some way, big or small, we are all resisting.

Songs of Ruth

Finding Balance in a Binary World

Not everything is on/off, yes/no, 0/1. From the perspective of a computer scientist that perceives the world in binary, let’s explore resisting the norm of fitting things into boxes and instead looking at everything on a spectrum.

Bending Toward Hope

In this season of Spring, how do we remain hopeful in the face of loss or despair in our personal lives? How do we resist sinking into cynicism at the state of our nation and the world? Please remember to bring a flower to share in our Flower Communion.
