Birdsong

What role do birds play in the interdependent web of existence of which we are a part? Stunning new research has given new light to how birds interact with the natural world. In celebration of Earth Day, we’ll look at the gifts of birdsongs.

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.

The Gift of Friendship
