As the program year of the congregation begins, we gather in a community of all ages to remember our connections to one another and to our faith. Please bring a little water from your summer adventures to share in the service.

We continue a congregational tradition by offering a lay-led Labor Day weekend service on Sunday, September 4th, on the theme of “What I Read this Summer.” As we begin the new program year, our presentations will focus on our Soul Matters theme for September: a Community of Covenant. Join us to consider our Community of Covenant, and perhaps discover a new book to add to your reading list.
Our ministerial intern, Matt Aspin, and Linda will share the pulpit as we begin a two year journey of learning and teaching. Come learn about our opportunities to grow together!

Where does direct experience of the transcendent, neuroscience, and UU intersect? Or better yet, where does “woo woo” meet “weigh and measure?” Surveys show that a significant number of individuals have had some type of “mystical, numinous, or transcendent experience,” so how can we explain and reconcile this with scientific fact? Does Neurotheology finally have the answer for us to know the unknowable? What does the latest neuroscience have to say about spiritual experience?
The writer Parker Palmer describes democracy as “a nonstop experiment in the strength and weakness of our political institutions, our local communities, and the human heart.” During this season of heated rhetoric, we are challenged to look for ways to turn conflict into the energy of creativity, and to see tension as an invitation to work for the common good.
Life is full of journeys. Where is your journey taking you now?
