Sermon topic: Atonement, Reconciliation, and Recovery, by Rev Eric Meter. 

Starr King is a vibrant Unitarian Universalist congregation committed to spiritual exploration, loving inclusion, and justice. We’ve been active in Hayward, California since 1954. We called our first openly gay minister in 1980, so we’ve been LGBTQ+ friendly for a long time.

We gather on Sundays for worship and connection at 10:30 am PT. You are warmly invited to join us in person https://starrking.org/welcome/visiting-us/ or online https://starrking.org/zoom-inclusion/.

Our family programming, youth group, and congregational activities create a spiritual community which honors questions, values compassion, and welcomes all caring people from diverse beliefs and backgrounds. We think you’ll love it here as much as we do.

Any questions? Share them with our welcome team welcome@starrking.org and we'll get back to you ASAP!

You can learn more about our family programs at https://starrking.org/youth-and-families/.  We invite you to visit soon!

Worship Sermon: Road Trip, 8-18-2024

Taking a road trip once a year is a good chance to take stock. What are some of life’s persistent questions? Led by Rev. Elizabeth Sollie

What is Evil?

Hear a lecture on Evil which the Guest Speaker defines as "The willful imposition of extreme and unnecessary suffering".  There will be an introductory reading by Jim Lewis of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's essay "After Ten Years".

We Need One Another

We are people of many paths who come together to make a difference for our world and ourselves. Ours is a shared spiritual journey offering ongoing opportunities for learning and growing together. We gather as a community to care for one another and practice our principles by answering the call for social justice.

The Search for Love or How to Tame a Wild Yak in its Natural Habitat

Guest Speaker: Rev. Greg Ward.  Falling in love can be amazing, wonderful, intoxicating and provides one of the best portals to truth, purpose and meaning the Universe offers.  It can also be disorienting, confusing, mysterious and scary.  It feels like we are asked to set aside every lesson our fear and ego taught us and learn an entirely new language.  And the truth is, that is exactly what Love is asking.
