This is what happens when our settled minister is away . . . Spiritual rebels like Rev. Tandi come in here with radical ideas of collaborative pronoia (opposite of paranoia) and a revolution begins. It could happen. In between stories and poetry. Come get your … read more.
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.

“And I’ll give you hope, when hope is hard to find. And I’ll bring a song of love, and a rose in the winter time.”

Join Rev. Tandi Rogers for a reflection about our bodies.
What is it we are called to do? It’s often hard to discern what we’re meant to be doing and what isn’t ours to pick up. Do you have difficulty saying no? Or saying yes? We’ll consider the art of discernment in finding what our own work is in the world.
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.
