Space to Dream

Many blame the human-created challenges we can’t seem to find our way out of on a failure of imagination. If this be true, we might do well to consider what it is our imaginations actually require in order to do their best work.

An Inauguration of Imagination

Our souls are overwhelmed by the magnitude of injuries our collective experiment in democracy has sustained. The spiritual work before us turns toward healing: the healing inauguration of the most diverse Executive, Legislative, and Judicial leadership teams in our nation’s history, as well as the healing inauguration of a new age of beloved community.

Lamentation, Imagination, Creation

This worship is for those of you who are still a bit hung over with grief from the past year or the year we’ve just begun, and are gingerly trying to muster hope. We Unitarian Universalists are known for our optimism. We don’t grieve well. We aren’t versed in the ways of lamentation. And yet that is the way through to a new way. Come let us lament together and then imagine and create.

Rev. Tandi Rogers is one of our affiliated community ministers. She is multi-vocational: teaching at both Meadville Lombard Theological School and Seattle University’s School of Theology & Ministry, spiritual director in private practice, and having served the Unitarian Universalist Association for almost 20 years, is a learning strategist and coordinator of a new initiative helping congregation practice covenant and engage healthy conflict. Rev. Tandi has been a member of TUUC for 30 years and was ordained by our congregation in 2013.

Race Matters

Join Social Justice Committee members for a dive into valuable lessons and knowledge gained from the recent Race Matters Discussion Group exploring a variety of topical media. Discussion group members Janet Hazelton and Jim Tuttle will share insights of how their hours of reading, listening, and watching impacted their search for justice, truth, and the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

Expanding the Experiment

This worship service reflects upon how we best understand the pathways to dispel the myths and reveal the truths around our anti-racist, anti-oppression, and multicultural spiritual work.

Whose Land?

We’ve added a land acknowledgement to the beginning of our services. This is an increasingly common element of public meetings of all sorts. Why are we doing it?
