The Body Knows

We spend a lot of time in our heads — analyzing, planning, worrying. But our bodies hold a different kind of wisdom: older, quieter, and often more honest. In this service, we’ll explore what happens when we slow down enough to listen — not just with our minds, but with our whole, embodied selves. Spoiler: this is not a fitness class. But it might be the most grounding hour of your week. Rev. Sian Wiltshire with James and Kayla of…

Tomb With a View

Sometimes you show up expecting one thing — and find something you never could have planned for. This Easter, we explore what opens up when we least expect it. What plot twists await us in our lives?

Love in a Warming World

If love is at the center of our faith, what does love require in a warming world? Climate change is reshaping communities, deepening inequality, and testing our moral courage. In this service, we will reflect on climate justice as a spiritual calling — one that calls us beyond awareness into action. Following worship, representatives from Earthjustice will help us explore how faith and legal advocacy work together to protect vulnerable communities and the earth itself.

Embracing Possibility

  • Rev. Sian Wiltshire
I know how it feels right now. The news cycle is relentless. The executive orders come faster than we can process them. News of war, bombs, violence. Some mornings it takes a little extra courage just to open your phone. I feel it too. But when I look around, I don’t feel despair. I feel the possibilities and hope. Last month, many of us from Orange Coast UU showed up for the No Kings protest — one of thousands happening…

Unsung UU Nominations

As VP of Programs, I am available to help get groups started, resolve problems and help connect new members. If you want to know more about how to get involved in a group or to volunteer to help with an event, come to the new Programs table…

April Events

  • Danielle Lewis
April is full of fun, learning, and community in our Religious Exploration classes! On April 5th, middle school youth will gather for their twice-monthly class, exploring the topic of communication, while elementary students will dive into the 4th UU value through engaging games, crafts, and snacks. After the service, all are invited to join our exciting Egg Hunt & Spring Carnival from 11:45am–1:30pm, featuring games, face painting, crafts, and an egg hunt for toddlers through 8th grade. On April 12th,…

Anti-Racism

Racism has a long history in our society, and is still having major consequences despite years of effort to combat it. We must continue to work together to dismantle the systems that perpetuate injustice and inequity.

Giving

Many of us give of our time, many of us give of our resources, most of us do both. We are what we can do together.

We Love Questions

How is Unitarian Universalism different from Christianity?

Unitarian Universalism isn’t defined by one creed or one scripture. Some UUs are Christian; many are not. Instead of requiring shared beliefs, we covenant to live our values – like human dignity, justice, compassion, and the democratic process – and we draw wisdom from many traditions and life experience.
