Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church

We Dwell Between

Led by Revs. Katie Kandarian-Morris and Darcy Baxter.

MULTIGENERATIONAL SERVICE

We tend to consider things in black or white, up or down, in or out. But really, life itself is the place in between. Let us consider that space.

For All That is Our Life: Celebrate!

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris.

In this time of the blurring of “church” that goes beyond the congregation, what is the importance of this congregation’s existence? Is this the place to gather “all that is our life?”

The Legacy of Shared Ministry

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris.

Shared ministry is the task of the congregation as a whole. What are the services we give that make this a powerful shared ministry and leave us all more whole?

Spirit of Life: Spirit of Church

Led by Roy King, Jr.

Church has often been compared to a family. Yet, family life can at times be a difficult process of negotiating individual identity and interpersonal boundaries. How can we, Unitarian Universalists, create a church that adopts the best of family life?

Om Mani Padme Om/ Simple Gifts/ Amazing Grace

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris.

Each piece of this cobbled together chant offers a message of love and acceptance. Is this where we find a message that might reach past its humble core to speak to us now, and again when we forget?

(Still) Standing on the Side of Love

Led by Rev. Darcy Baxter and Roy King, intern minister.
MULTIGENERATIONAL

Valentine’s Day might just be less mushy and more meaningful when we consider the power of our Love to transform the world. Should this be our mission?

The Intersection of our Faith

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris, with our guest, student Rabbi Benj Fried.

Today, we welcome our friends, especially those from Congregation Shir Ami in Castro Valley. Where is it that the Jewish people and Unitarian Universalists come together? What can we do in our shared community to make a difference today?

Playground of the Spirit

Led by Rev. Darcy Baxter, family minister.

Experts and pundits tell us that church needs to change to meet the challenges of the 21st century.  So, what should church be and what does it have to do with "spirituality"? Do we need to change or just become more of who we are?

Where are We Going?

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

The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King ushered in an era of concern for social justice and civil liberty for the oppressed. But what are the pressing justice concerns of the 21st century? What are the complex identities that stretch the limits of our understanding?

By Whose Authority?

Led by Rev. Sue Magidson, pulpit guest.

We love the questions, including questioning authority. We stand up for justice, believe in freedom of conscience, but sometimes, we UUs can get carried away in distrusting authority figures, even the ones we elect to lead us.
