What we choose to eat is more than personal—it’s planetary. This Sunday, we reflect on the hidden environmental impact of animal agriculture and the ways our everyday choices ripple outward into the earth we share. With compassion and curiosity, we’ll explore how we might live in greater harmony with the web of life. Sermon topic won by Maureen M. at the Fall auction.

Throughout our lives we encounter challenges and, hopefully, we meet them. Our congregation did with the building of a new sanctuary! Come celebrate the lessons we humans learn by doing hard things.

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!

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!

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.

After the service, the Malaviya Family are inviting us all to participate in the Hindu Festival Holi (Festival of Colors).

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.
