I Believe

In the midst of a national trauma, we need community and pastoral care for survivors and those who love them. For survivors, bearing witness to another's trauma can be both empowering and also trigger our own painful memories. It can leave us feeling vulnerable and raw. You are not alone. Join us for worship and togetherness.

 

 

Envisioning Your Re-Kindled Spirit

Listen to guest speaker Lorie Miller as we envision the importance of our presence in all the different relationships we have.

Vision Quest

We continue with our monthly theme of "Vision" and explore how our personal lives are guided by our dreams, aspirations, and spiritual practices.  A Vision Quest is understood as a look into our soul, a special time of deep reflection when one is at a crossroads seeking spiritual direction and growth.  It is an invitation towards internal transformation and renewal. Come join us in a collective and interactive  "vision quest" to share our sources of inspiration and wisdom.

Looks at Books

Today we will embrace our love of books and reading.  Bring a book to put upon the altar, and bring a different book home, as we celebrate our book communion.

Monkey in My Family?

This summers readers theater is a riff on the infamous Scopes trial in 1925 which pitted science and evolution against fundamentalism. How was Unitarian Universalism involved? Come and listen. I think you will enjoy the results.

In or Out: Belonging in an Age of Borders

Rev. Leela Sinha is a minister and a lifelong UU with a theology of pleasure and a deep love of well-channeled intensity. After four years in the parish in Oregon and Maine, they decided to move into the community, having discovered that scores of people were unwilling to darken our doors, but still needed our ministry. Their book, "You're Not Too Much", explores and celebrates the role of intense people in a world designed for moderation. They coach, preach, and teach from their home in the Bay Area.
