Life Lessons
We have all had life lessons that helped us grow. Some were easy and some hard (ok, most were hard!). What lessons is your life teaching you know? Come explore this topic with Rev. Sian Wiltshire.
Climate Justice Revival
To top off our amazing month of September, we will be joining Unitarian Universalists around the country in holding a Climate Justice Revival. Read the Reach for more information and stay tuned.
Generosity as a Spiritual Practice
Generosity is a core value of Unitarian Universalism that connects us to each other in relationships of interdependence and mutuality. How do we become more generous in a world that often leads us into a scarcity mindset?
Do We Really Have to Love Those We Hate?!
In this polarized nation, it’s hard to not hate. People often stand up against that which we feel so strongly the opposite. What do you do when it’s your family or friend? Note: This sermon topic was suggested by auction winner, Dave C.
Water Ceremony Sunday!
Come join us as we take a “plunge” into the future, with our annual Water Ceremony. All are welcome! Think about what you would like to invite into your life this coming church year and you are invited to bring water that is meaningful to you but, as always, there is symbolic water for everyone to use.
Groundbreaking!
Yes! It’s finally here! We are breaking ground on our new sanctuary. Come celebrate with us as we honor where we’ve been and where we are going.
Can You Hear Me?
How we feel, think and reason happens electrically; autonomically. It is often affected more by the subconscious programming of our early youth and by external influences than by our conscious, mindful selves. So how can our opinions and ideas be heard and understood by others? It seems impossible. If we understand those unaccounted for parameters that define what thoughts are and where they come from, we can both listen and be heard more clearly.
Love Talk
Leading a life with heart. What if you died tomorrow? Would you leave this earth knowing that your loved ones knew of your love? Or would they mourn you without ever knowing? How do we live every day with love at the center?
Surrender!
The word “Surrender” is often associated with weakness, but when is it a strength?
State of the UUnion
Lots has happened in our denomination and in our country lately. We live in interesting times! Join Rev. Sian Wiltshire as she reflects on what it means to be a democracy (or not) in both these areas of our lives.
“Please Covenant Responsibly”
Unitarian Universalism is all about relationship: being in covenant together, and returning to it when we inevitably break it. Today, guest minister KC Marie Pandell explores the meaning of that relationship, and how we can live into our values by doing the work of repair.
