Contingency and Chance
What can we expect of life? Our pathway through is never clearly marked. This service will explore luck and privilege and how that can inform our spiritual life.

New Pencil, Sharp Point
Autumn brings the scent of fallen leaves and often a feeling of new beginnings. What are the tools we bring to our expectations of what’s ahead?
Our Religious Exploration program year for Children and Youth begins this Sunday.
Ansamblu will offer music during our worship service.
Rivers to the Sea
Rev. Linda Hart leads our annual Water Service for all ages. Bring water from somewhere you’ve been, or that has some meaning for you, or simply from home. We’ll have water to pour into our common bowl, too.
We’ll sing, bless, be blessed, and remember the gift of water in our lives.
Booking Expectations
Scott Redman, along with other members of our congregation, will lead this Labor Day Weekend Service with an exploration of books on expectation.
The UU Golden Rule!
Do UUs have a “golden rule” as the source of our values and guide for our actions? Has the “golden rule” become outdated, and if so what has taken its place? What can interfere and prevent us from “walking our talk” and living by our values? Come discover pitfalls and power enhancers for successfully living our values in the world!
Question Box
What questions, sacred or profane, do you wonder about? Rev. Linda invites your questions this morning and will answer the ones that’ll fit in a Sunday morning.
What Makes This a Home?
UU poet Ric Masten loved the image of the homesick snail. It expresses a longing that may be familiar to all of us. We’ll reflect on the question of what makes home, and how this community can be home.
Being Poetry
Poetry provides a way to spiritual deepening. This service will offer practices of reflection and exploration to find meaning and guidance offered by poets.
The End of the World As We Know It
The book “Good Omens” by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett was made into a six-episode series on Amazon Prime and released in May. It offers some reflections on the nature of the world, and how we are in it. This service will dig into the apocalypse described therein and what it might mean for us.
Growing Into Harmony
Since Unitarian Universalists have no creed, UUs often struggle with what it is that binds us together – what is it that makes us UUs? Some scholars respond to this question with, “covenant.” (One way of describing covenant is, “walking together in love.”) Our covenantal tradition is what links us to our forebears and to each other. What is it to walk together in love? What does it have to do with living with authenticity, integrity, joy, and resolve? How might it nourish us and inform how we live our lives?
The Rev. Tom Bozeman grew up UU in the Connecticut River Valley, attended the Evergreen State College and the Starr King School For The Ministry, and, after serving a few congregations in Massachusetts, is delighted to be back near the Salish Sea. He is the minister of the Evergreen UU Fellowship in Marysville.
