Starr King Unitarian Universalist Church

Celebrate Earth Day!

This service starts with a Reflection by Claudia McDonagh.  Then Rev. Maria Cristina will give a sermon about:

All life is interconnected. From the forest to the sea to humanity itself, each thread of being is woven into a single fabric of existence. We embrace nature’s beauty and are in awe of its power. We care for our environment so that it may sustain life for generations to come. 

Welcoming Congregation

We are a Welcoming Congregation and we celebrate proudly our LGBTQ2 people. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots which ignited the LGBTQ2 liberation movement. Members Wayne Bennion and Beth Ogilvy give testimonies and Rev. Maria Cristina gives the Homily.

Mapping Our Spiritual Journeys

A multi-generational and interactive service using art and poetry to express and share our spiritual journeys.

There is No Away

In these difficult times, what does it mean to dispose of people? What would it take to build a culture of healthy indispensability? It turns out that even if we dismiss someone or something from our presence, it remains part of the interconnected web of all existence. We will examine together the blessings and complicated nature of our interdependence.

Preceding the sermon is a bonus music track by Activist Songwriters Emma's Revolution.  The song is entitled Swimming to the Other Side and is used with their permission.

 

Sharing Our Spiritual Journeys

For most people, spiritual journeys are not straightforward but full of detours, curves, broken trails, and new paths. As Unitarian Universalists, we are encouraged to cultivate our different religious and spiritual traditions with us and to explore the wisdom of world religions and earth centered traditions. How do we incorporate this wisdom into our every day lives?

Celebrating Our Beloved Community

Even Black Holes Emit Heat

Does it feel like we’ve been living in a black hole that sucks compassion and love out of our universe lately? Well, yes! But physics has good news for you! Join us as we explore what astronomy can teach us about finding hope in dire times.

The Places That Scare You

We continue exploring the teachings of Pema Chodron and the spiritual practices that can help us make choices about how we react to the circumstances in our lives. "We can let them harden us and make us increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and allow our inherent human kindness to shine through."

Trusting Your Own Deepest Experience

Join us as we explore and reflect upon the teachings of Buddhist Nun Pema Chodron on the path of loving kindness.

MLK Service

Join us in honoring the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
