Imagination: The Original Lab Equipment

We often think of imagination – the dreaming up of fun ideas – as antithetical to science. But one cannot really exist without the other. Come explore the fun of science as we imagine what it can do for our planet, our lives and the whole world!

Question Box Sunday!

It’s our annual “Question Box Sunday!” You can ask Rev. Sian anything you like about theology, ministry, our Unitarian Universalist history or values, or even the meaning of life! Bring your questions and she will do her best to answer. But don’t be surprised if she asks you questions, too!

Imagination as a Spiritual Practice

Have you ever been told to stop daydreaming? What if you had permission and even encouragement to start daydreaming again? How can we center love in imagining a new future together?

Spring Forward

Spring is the season of Hope. We celebrate Naw Ruz, Ramadan, Passover, Easter, and the Vernal Equinox. This morning we will talk about finding equanimity in unsettling times through ancient stories and deepening personal practices.

The Well of the Spirit

What happens when our spirits start to feel run down by all the chaos surrounding us in the world? How do we make sense of what’s happening outside of us–and how it affects us on the inside? Spiritual practices are not just about discovery–they can help us re-discover a core self that can feel lost in difficult times.

Easter, Flower Communion and Earth Day

It’s both Earth Day and Easter, so what better time than to celebrate the Unitarian Universalist’s celebration of Flower Communion? Come celebrate renewals, the earth and the diversity that makes our faith tradition so unique!

Joy, it’s the Little Things

How is joy different than happiness? Where do we find joy in the chaos? How do we help each other find it? Sometimes just asking these questions helps us frame our happiness.

Keep on Marching!

The March at Selma brought a revolution in our country – for voting rights, the power of nonviolence and mobilizing a national movement that led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. What kind of nonviolent revolution do we need today?

Leaps of Faith: Trusting the Future

There is a Buddhist proverb: “leap and the net will appear.” There is some truth to that. How do we trust, in this climate, that the net will appear? Our annual pledge drive starts today. After the service, the Malaviya Family are inviting us all to participate in the Hindu Festival Holi (Festival of Colors).

Small is All

Author and activist, adrienne maree brown reminds us that “small is all” in her book, Emergent Strategy. In nature, small things often mimic the big things. The small interactions we have each day with each other can ripple out and have a major impact in the bigger world.
