We’re All In This Together

The UUA report “Widening the Circle of Concern” offers UU congregations an opportunity to reflect upon and create strategies for becoming anti-racist and multicultural. How can we respond to this invitation?

Building a New Way

We gather to continue to deepen our consideration of becoming a Safe Parking site: offering hospitality and help to people whose homes are their cars.

Celebrating Love

Our annual All-Ages “Love” Service exploring all the ways we show our love to the world and how we celebrate LOVE.
Our service included a whimsical sing-a-long of “Come, Sing A Song With Me”
Rev. Dr. Linda A. Hart shares “Opening Our Hearts: A Yoga for All Ages” as part of the worship service.
“The Love Letter” by Anika Aldamuy Denise was read by Staci Kopcha as part of our “Celebrating Love” worship service, and this is another recording of the same book that we hope you’ll enjoy!

A Future Not Our Own

How does our beloved community stretch into the future? Many of us may be thinking about the legacy we’ll leave to the world. It’s never too early to start thinking about it.

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.
