Let’s Talk About Sin

Where did the concept of sin and salvation come from? Does it have meaning for us now? Let’s look at the sin of separation – from each other, our community, the world – and how our UU Faith Tradition can save us.

The Future of the Flame

Where did we come from and where are we going? Unitarianism and Universalism both have impacted the world for hundreds of years. This sermon will look at our origins, our impact on the world and our role in what at times appears to be a frightening future. It will explore how to live UU principles as a noun rather than as an adjective. 

Family

We celebrate Pride with songs and poetry and reflections about who we belong to and who belongs to us. A glitter blessing will round out our service.

Freedom, Liberation, and the UU Gospel

An invitation to explore, discover, awe, marvel and mystery! Beginner’s minds most welcome! What do you believe is the greatest freedom? How do you experience freedom and liberation? How do UU Principles and Sources serve as the perfect context for a “freedom and liberation” movement? How can the latest findings in neuroscience, positive psychology, and mindfulness science achieve harmonious integration with the UU Gospel for health and well-being? Come, come, come as you are . . .

Life, Liberty, Happiness

The 4th of July is our celebration of the Declaration of Independence and life, liberty, and happiness are suggested as our inalienable rights among others that are unspecified. We’ll consider what they might mean today.

The Great Work of Your Life

In the Hindu tradition, every human being has a unique vocation. One of the major challenges of life is to come home to that true self. There are three paths from which we all must choose; pitfalls to avoid; ancient wisdom to guide us.

The First Step is Admitting, But Not Always In That Order

In order to fix a problem, you need to admit one exists. The surest way for a goal to become reality is to proclaim it from the rooftops. But sometimes it takes a while to even realize that you have a dream or that there is a problem in the first place. So where do you pull over and ask for directions when you’re already well on your way?

Blessings Received

On this last day of his internship, Ministerial Intern Matt Aspin reflects on the lessons and the blessings he has received from his time with us. A reminder for all of the power and promise available within our beloved community.

A Blessing of Fairies

Our annual flower service is a celebration of community and of hope. Everyone is encouraged to bring along a flower (or a few!) or something that’s growing. (Do you have extra tomato starts? A house plant that can be divided? Something else for the garden?) Our whole church worship will have singing, celebration and a few surprises as always. Come prepared to bless and be blessed!
