Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church

The Third Principle: Growing Souls

Led by Rev. Joy Atkinson.
The late Unitarian Minister A. Powell Davies characterized life as “a chance to grow a soul,” and the Third Principle of our faith calls upon us to encourage one another in our spiritual growth. What is “spiritual” or “soul growth,” and how can we pursue this growth for ourselves, as well as encourage it within our congregations?

Turning Allies into Foes

Led by member Bob Meyerson.
While we UU’s share many passions in common, sometimes we become so involved in one that we forget that others might be just as important. Join us as we try to explain that we must have room in our hearts for more than one cause at a time.

How Did We Get Here?

Led by member Terri Owen.
Join us as we examine the difference between “Home” and “No Home”. What can we do about homelessness? We will be featuring the work of South Hayward Parish in this area as well as other strategies. There will be a special plate to support the new Maple House drop in center.

Gathered Here In the Mystery of the Hour

Led by Rev/ Kathy Huff.
Unitarian Universalism has sometimes been described as the faith tradition that allows “The Mystery” to remain mysterious. This morning we considered how mystery gathers us up and sends us forth.

Readers’ Theatre - The Indians and the Unitarians

Led by Al Murdach.

Experience a lesson in the form of a play. “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players…” What a delight on a Sunday morning!

How Did We Get Here?

Led by member Brian Johnson.
What brought us to Starr King and why have we chosen this place as our spiritual home? Join us as we learn about the journey that has brought members here.

Love and Wisdom

Led by Roy King, Jr., and Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris.

What have we learned together about things that matter most? Today we’ll welcome and celebrate our newest members and say goodbye to the intern minister who has been learning with us for the last two years.

It’s a Big, Wide World

Led by Jim Craig, guest speaker.
To grow up is to grow out, to become aware of the wider world in which we find ourselves. Spiritual growth means going deeper, not being satisfied with the superficial or the narrow, in geography of mind or spirit.

So Many Books, So Little Time

Led by member Glen Jacob.

Today we’ll continue our annual summer service featuring a “book communion.” Bring a favorite book to give away and look for a surprise to pick up to delight you this summer. Consider again why reading is still a fashionable pursuit.
