May Day Rituals
In this sermon by Rev. Dan Brosier circa 1994, we explore how holidays provide an avenue for examining our cultural past. Some holidays like Martin Luther King Jr. Day don’t have roots that go very far back in time. But others reach far back into our human heritage. What we believe and do today is shaped by what preceded us, even though we may not realize it. We will dig into the holy day that has many names but we…
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

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
