Lessons from the Ocean

In this lay-led service Mark and Penny Hooper will take us underwater through photographs and explore the lives of fish and other ocean dwellers. As we take a close look at various kinds of fish, we will highlight ways to bring the wild back into our lives.

Music and Poetry

In this November’s Services we focus on gratitude.  This Sunday, we will do that with a contemplative service of music and poetry to refresh our spirit.

Death, Dying, and Dandelions

Join us for a reflection on legacy, where we explore the intertwining themes of death, dying, and the enduring gifts we leave behind. Through the wonder of dandelions we’ll consider how our values, stories, and generosity can seed a future grounded in love and purpose.

The Thinning of the Veil

Join us for a time to remember our loved ones who have passed on and transitioned – what messages do we have for them, and what messages do they have for us? We will work at mutual healing of these relationships. Please bring photos of your loved ones to build a community altar.

I Want to Pray for Peace

Do Unitarian Universalists pray? Certainly! And in so many ways. And to whom do we pray? Such big questions … come, let’s explore them together. (This sermon was purchased at the auction by Penny & Mark Hooper!)

A Circle, A Boundary, and Belonging

Everything is relevant when we talk about belonging. The challenges we face collectively at this time … really any challenge in life, is an invitation to belonging. Belonging is our capacity to feel joy, freedom, and love in any moment.

A Mabon Call to Justice

Water Communion

Our annual water communion provides us time to work with the power of Water. We will contemplate waters of transformation, waters of grief, waters of renewal, and waters of joy.
