Trusting Life

Services at 9:15 & 11:00
When everything around us is changing so rapidly, how can we let go of our expectations and trust in the flow of life? When things seem chaotic and unfamiliar, do we seek to control or is there a way to surrender to trust. Join us for this exploration on riding the rollercoaster of life.

Letting God

Services at 9:15 & 11:00
Making space for the mystery to move in our lives is a radical act of trust. To find that balancing act between what is practical to do now and practicing non-attachment to outcomes moves this act from trust to faith. Gather with us for a service that invites us to identify how we might let go and let mystery move in our lives.

The Future of Church

ONE SERVICE only that day at 9:15 with a Congregational Meeting at 11 afterward
Unitarian Universalists are theologically progressive, but often considered ecclesiastically conservative. How do we move with the times to co-create relevant, engaging church, to avoid the attendance decline that so many denominations are experiencing? How do we befriend the possibility of change, when change is so hard for many people. These times are unprecedented. Join us to explore new possibilities.

Over the Rainbow

Services at 9:15 & 11:00 

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most inspirational, visionary leaders of our modern times. He spoke of a world of possibility in which all are treated with dignity and respect. How do we realize possibilities that at times can seem impossible? Join us to explore whether the possibilities and dreams envisioned by visionary leaders lay somewhere over the rainbow, or they are achievable realities?

Aligning our Habits with our Values

Services at 9:15 & 11:00
After her Community Forum the night before, Amy Halpern-Laff will join Reverend Nica to explore the possibility of aligning our habits with our values. If we are serious about honoring the interdependent web of all existence and stemming climate change, what habits might we consider shifting? Join us to explore how to make the world a little healthier for all.

The Possibility of Words

Services at 9:15 & 11:00
The poet Rumi wrote: “Raise your words, not your voice, it is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” The possibility of words to enchant, to nurture, to grow, cannot be denied. In this service, poets from our congregation reflect on the meaning and possibility of words to evoke and influence change.

“Future Mystery, Present Possibility”

Services at 9:15 and 11:00a

We create possibilities out of future mysteries. Is this a conscious action? Do we have free will? Is it more an autonomous, predestined activity? Join us to explore the mystery of new year possibilities.

A Christmas Mystery

Service at 5:00p ONLY

Join us for a Unitarian Universalist take on Christmas Eve. We will sing our favorite carols, enjoy Christmas readings and a service that’s appropriate for young and old alike. We will conclude with our traditional silent night candle vigil.

Finding our Place During Christmastime

Services at 9:15 and 11:00a

Christmas dominates this time of year, even as many other faith traditions share this season. Let’s explore all of the traditions of the holiday season, and find our own place together.

Finding our Way in the Darkness

Services at 915 & 11:00a
“I have faith in the night” writes the poet Rilke. The darkness has gifts that are sometimes hard to perceive. Many of us are navigating challenging times in our personal lives, our community and the world. As we approach the winter solstice, the darkest time of year, we will explore how to find our way during the darkest times.
