Building Beloved Community. Healing a Hurting World

Several members and Rev. Rick will share their perspectives on why they appreciate and support our congregation and our free faith tradition.
This is also the Sunday when we will launch our annual pledge drive.
Finally, this is the Sunday when you are asked to bring something for our dessert potluck (doesn’t have to be sweet – all offerings are welcome.)

A Letter to Iris

When one generation blesses us, we are moved to bless the next one. This is a good time to think of the intergenerational web of love we weave from generation to generation.
You are invited to bring a picture or image of a loved one or a revered figure in your spiritual life.

Navigating Our Covenant

We often speak of Unitarian Universalism as a “covenantal” religion – one in which we are called into relationship with one another in light of our highest values. There are unique challenges and opportunities in this regard, depending upon your sex, race, class, ableism. Let’s reflect on this together.

Rev. Rick’s Question and Answer Sunday-Volume II

Rev. Rick will do his best to respond to more of the many questions submitted during the first edition of Question and Response Sunday in June. Unitarian Universalists encourage the asking of questions, recognizing that such questions open portals through which we pass to deeper truth and understanding.

What Will I Do With My Wild and Precious Life?

We’ve invited members young and old to share their answers to this question posed by poet Mary Oliver. A good time to pause in gratitude for the gift of our lives.

The Journey

Everyone’s Life is a journey. Is it a journey of learning and growth? A journey with meaning and purpose? It’s good to pause sometimes and consider where you are and what might be the next step.

The Waters of Life

Water is often referred to symbolically in religious literature. How we treat one another and how we share or don’t share the actual water we do need is worth our full attention.
