Where is Our Village?
The saying “It Takes a Village” has always been a pillar of our spiritual community and a popular sentiment in American culture but lately it’s been difficult to feel the presence of a thriving interdependent village. This week, we’ll talk about what the idea of a village means to us, and how we can work to strengthen our chosen village moving forward.
Bodily Autonomy
With the possible overturning of Roe vs. Wade in the coming weeks, the question of bodily autonomy is once again at the forefront of our national debate. We’ll be exploring the history of Roe vs. Wade and the bodily rights granted to us by the Constitution along with delving into the questions of who does my body belong to and what rights do I (and others) have over it from a moral, ethical, and legal perspective?
A Literary Mothers’ Day
As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we’ll be exploring some fictional mothers that can serve as both role-models and surrogates (for those who’s mothers left something to be desired).
Theological Reflection
Our Unitarian Universalist 4th Principle calls for a “free and responsible search for truth and meaning”, but actually sitting down and contemplating our beliefs is not something many of us do on a regular basis. This morning we’ll be discussing the importance of theology (the study of religious truth, not just “God”) on our lives and on the future of humanity.
Holy Week
Holy Week takes on a bigger meaning when we consider that Easter, Passover, the Vernal Equinox, and Oestre have come together in a joyous surge of spirituality. Let’s take a look back through time and see how these religious observances became entwined.
“Cancelled”
In today’s age of “cancel culture”, who we are is being shaped by the whims of whichever political party is in power. What does this mean for our collective future when millions of children are growing up with only half the story?
Laughter During the Dark
“If I didn’t laugh, I’d cry.” So the saying goes. It’s true, that when we’re surrounded by the dark, humor is one of those precious things that helps us get through. Whether it’s gallows humor or silliness with no point other than to be silly, laughter really is “the best medicine.”
Compassion & Activism Fatigue
As a community of people rooted in compassion, in a world of seemingly endless causes, how do we possibly manage to focus our time, energy and resources to effectively make a change without completely burning ourselves out? This service, we’ll talk about Activism Fatigue and how to deal with the overwhelm
The Melt and the Rain
The melt and rain are arriving, warmer breezes blow, birdsong returns. Spring is, as they say, blossoming. During dark times, winter’s retreat helps ground us in what is around us in our physical spaces. Grounding in the now can help ease the fear and anxiety that surrounds us. Come, breathe, and join us at our Spring Equinox service, followed by a reflective walk through our beloved labyrinth.
Life in the Cracks
Have you ever noticed a small hopefully flower growing out of a crack in the concrete? What joy it brings!
The Principles for Kids… for Adults!
The RE Program started the new year by observing the UU holiday of Chalica, and as it comes to a close we’ll reflect on different approaches to teach our kids about the UU Principles.
You Can’t Babysit Your Own Kids
An update from the Revitalization Team as we forge a new path as a lay-led congregation.
