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!
Harvest the Power
Harvest the Power. How nurturing leadership empowers individuals, inspires transformation, and fosters a shared vision for change.
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?
Thou Shalt Not Lie… Unless It Gets Clicks
What is the line between freedom of speech and lying? How do we hold people accountable for lies when they often believe what they are saying? Tough questions, but important to ask in the age of social media.
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.

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.
What’s Working
Each of us have hopes and dreams for our lives, but we can get fixated on what’s not working, versus what is working. But when things go wrong, and they often do, we tend to focus on the problems. Let’s try a different way of seeing our lives and see if it helps us renew our energy, focus and hope for our lives and the world.
Living Our Values
As Unitarian Universalists, we affirm the worth and dignity of every person—but in today’s political climate, that commitment is being tested. Across the country, transgender and nonbinary people face escalating threats to their rights, safety, and very existence. Silence is not an option. How do we, as people of faith, respond with courage and conviction? Join us as we explore what it truly means to live our values in a time of injustice.
Radical Inclusion
Radical inclusion is the practice of intentionally including people who are different from you and creating spaces where everyone feels welcome. How can we deepen our understanding of Equity as a value?
