Bread and Roses
The interdependent web of all existence. Come join us as we explore the wisdom of the threads that tie us all together.
Beyond Attendance
What it means to be a Unitarian Universalist. Showing up on Sunday is just the beginning of what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist. How do we live our principles and values in the world?
Transforming Easter
Easter has many different threads from Christianity to Paganism. How might we make it our own this Sunday?
Love and Transformation
As Unitarian Universalists, we are called to adapt to the changing world. Change can be challenging and sometimes we may see it as easier to hang on to the familiar. When we have love under our wings, change can bring forth transformation only dreamed of. As we celebrate the first week of Spring, a season full of transformation and growth, we’ll explore our proposed new covenant together.
Becoming Transformers
“Transforming our communities by living our Principles” is the second half of our mission statement. How do we do this as Unitarian Universalists?
Transforming our Lives by Living our Principles
This is part of our Mission Statement at OCUUC. But how do you live our Principles? How do you make ethical decisions that are in line with them and your values? We all make choices, but how we make those decisions is important.
The Gift of Friendship
We humans are social animals and seeking companionship is part of our nature. How does friendship, or even the simple act of being friendly enrich our lives? You might be surprised by how much we really need each other.
Self-Care for Social Justice
What if taking care of ourselves was the secret ingredient needed to create positive social change? When we rest, we are creating space for our best wisdom to emerge.
How the West Became WEIRD
The US is a WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) culture. How does this make us different from other countries now and in the past? And is it a good thing or a bad thing?
The Social Implications of Universalism
In 1915 the Reverend Clarence Skinner wrote The Social Implications of Universalism, which has been praised and reviled over the years. Rev. James Ford believes taking it whole with flaws and brilliance and insight in about equal measures, it suggests what Unitarian Universalism might be at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Our Forgotten Black UU History
February is Black History month and this week we will be looking at UU Black history. There is quite a lot of it and much of it has been forgotten or brushed aside. Let’s bring this important part of our history to light!
Was Jesus Woke?
What is woke-ism? Depending on who you talk to, it is either a good thing or a bad thing. Let’s have some fun today as we talk about this challenge facing our western culture.
