Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church

Song of the Soul

Led by Abbey Tennis, pulpit guest.

When we are stressed, shocked, or even just stuck in a same old routine, we sometimes lose sight of our truest selves. When the ‘song of our soul’ is only distant background music, how do we tune in and start singing again?

Behind the Kitchen Door

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris.

“Sustainability is about contributing to a society that everybody benefits from,” says Saru Jayaraman in the book Behind the Kitchen Door. This book has been chosen by the UUA as the “Common Read” for this year ahead. What might we discover for our own sustenance as we join in and read together?

When That Love Comes

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris

As we remember the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we’ll delve into the virtues of renewal and forgiveness. These are practices that benefit others, and help us live a life filled with peace and love.

Let It Wash Away

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

MULTIGENERATIONAL WORSHIP

Bring a bit of water from your journeys this summer, be they far or near. We’ll feel the healing power of water, the gifts of returning together as a gathered community of faith, hope and Love. We’ll consider how resiliency can bless us as we walk through the world.

Bread and Roses

Led by Bob Britton, pulpit guest.

Join us Sunday September 1st at our 11^th annual Labor Day Sunday Service for a celebration of the poetry and music of the Labor Movement for … Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes; hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses! . Come share the rhythms of poetry and song while we reflect on Labor’s struggle for time to enjoy the beauty of life.

New Frames and Snapshots

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

Multigenerational worship

As we gather on a late summer day, let’s look at how our perspective can give us a new way of looking at things, a deeper vision, a more clear vision, or maybe even a gorgeously pixilated overview. Email a picture of you or your family in summer life, and we’ll take more than one look at it.

The Spirit of Mutual Love

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris

How are we formed as Unitarian Universalist organizations? Rather than out of belief, we come together in covenant. Let us gather together once again, and renew our covenant with each other, as we have done since the Pilgrims day.

Bela Bartok – A Unitarian Artist for All Seasons

Led by Roy King, Jr., pulpit guest

Bartok was a seminal modernist composer of the early 20th century who also was a Unitarian. We often view Unitarian Universalism as hyper-intellectual without any artistic sense, but today we will hear how Bartok combined his artistry and sense of social justice to transform the musical world.

Readers’ Theater

Led by Al Murdach, pulpit guest Come enjoy theater encased in worship, with a lesson in history, brought to you by members of the congregation. Learn a bit of religious history and sing together too!

Creative Questions and Answers

Led by the Worship Committee The worship committee and our own Starr King Improv Theater (SKIT) will offer summer worship intended to lift you up, make you think and maybe laugh. Come, be part of the gathered community of faith.
