Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church

Celebration Sunday: The Amazing gRace

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris. In this world that swirls around us at breakneck speed, we’ve got so much to be grateful for: this wonderful congregation that helps us make a life with deeper meaning, actually living out our values. Come, give yourself to this community of love and faith.

The Evolution of Humanity

Led by Rev. Bob Klein, pulpit guest. How is it we think about Darwin, Monkeys, Climbing Down, Growing Up, and Surviving into the Future? Come today and consider.

What’s Love Got to Do With It?

Led by Roy King, Jr., intern minister. As Unitarian Universalists, we are called to love as a core value for our justice in the world. But love is not simple and often bears fear and sadness and loss. How do we embrace love without fearing separation? We’ll Stand on the Side of Love with a special plate for LBGTQ equality.

Grand Ideas and Simple Comforts

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris. MULTI-GENERATIONAL The Neo-Pagan celebration of Imbolc marks the mid-winter time where we clean up, organize, and take care of the business of winter so we can pay attention to the budding of spring re-birth. Although we may not have the cold of other climates, we may nonetheless find ourselves in the bleak mid-winter—come break out! Go Niners!

Universalism: A Theology for our Times

Led by Roy King, Jr. We are Unitarian Universalists, but, too often, the Universalist side of our tradition gets neglected by our congregations. Today, we will explore how a theology of Love can furnish us an antidote to the fragmentation rampant throughout our culture.

A Genuine Leader

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris and Roy King, Jr. “A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.” Martin Luther King, Jr. used his leadership to build a movement of leaders during his life and a legacy after his death. We’ll learn about some of them. Monday we’ll join together in celebrating King’s words at our annual march and parade.

Holy Curiosity

Led by Darcy Baxter and Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris One of the teachings of liberal religion is to “never stop questioning.” Questioning, doubting, seeking–these are essential to our religious tradition. Essential, though at times exhausting. Is there a time for trust? When is our curiosity holy? When is it harmful?

Letting Go of Certainties

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris, Darcy Baxter, Roy King, Jr. MULTI-GENERATIONAL WORSHIP Gail Sheehy describes creativity as letting go of certainties. Worship is the perfect place for that experiment. Today’s service will also give an opportunity for all ages to participate in the burning bowl ceremony where we drop in something negative that we’d like to let go.

Drink Water From the Sacred Well

Led by Ruth DeSmidt and Worship Committee. For a fresh start in the new year, come explore how we can turn a negative into a positive.

We Time-worn Folk Renew Ourselves

Led by Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris, Darcy Baxter. Today we’ll welcome the youngest among us as we dedicate our babies and young children, then consider how “we time-worn folk renew ourselves” as we grow through the years of our lives.   Come to worship this morning to share hope, peace and love in community. Come for healing prayer. Come for a hug.
