There is much in today’s world that is heartbreaking and worrisome. But there are glimmers of hope in many places, one of which is in the ongoing work and special projects of the United Nations. The sermon will explore how United Nations programs help to carry out some of the values that we Unitarian Universalists hold dear, and that we share with those who would build world community.

The UU principles set forth our relations with other persons. How do
they apply to our relations with animals, especially our pets. Pets give
us unconditional love. This lay led service will explore how we have
included animals in our everyday lives. Members of the congregation are
encouraged to bring photos of their pets to be displayed at the front of
the sanctuary.

High Holy Days Service – We Unitarian Universalists boast a “guilt-free” religion, without the threat of eternal punishment for our wrongdoings. Freedom from religious guilt is liberating for many of us. The emotional experience of guilt can certainly be debilitating. But can guilt also be useful and motivating? Does guilt have a positive side?

While some believe they have heard the death knell of unions, a new generation of union leaders has found astounding success in progressive coalitions organizing minimum wage workers. While union membership is declining, public sector unions are stronger than ever, but now in the gun sights of the Right. Learn more and join us at our annual Labor Day Service for a high energy hour of music, song and poetry as we celebrate our work and our struggles. The offertory this Sunday will be donated to the Faith Alliance for a Moral Economy.
