The Evolution of Hope Through Difficult Times
This week we’ll talk about how our collective idea of “hope” has changed over generations, as we deal with stressors both old and new – and how we can remain hopeful and feel our sense of purpose even within an era that seems to feel over-saturated with challenges.
Our Principles are a Call to Action
In light of recent events, this week we’ll talk about our responsibility as UUs to not just “talk the talk”, but instead, “walk the walk” when it comes to what we believe. Even when – in fact, especially when – it feels uncomfortable, difficult, and disruptive to do so.
We’ve Found Our Village – Now We’ve Got to Fund It!
This Sunday we’ll kick off everyone’s favorite season – Stewardship! Join us as we take a look at why this uncomfortable process is one of the most important ways we can strengthen our community. As someone who’s been long-opposed to all-things Stewardship, I promise to keep it as painless as possible!

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.
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
An Honest Look at MLK Jr Day
Many of us fall into the comfortable routine of seeing MLK Day as a celebration of America’s eradication of racism. But is it?
