Sermons on Holidays
A Bigger Table
Around Thanksgiving we spend time cataloging our gratitudes, but Thanksgiving is also a time to see and appreciate our family, whether that’s blood relations, found family, or an entire community. This Thanksgiving, we invite you to reflect on what happens when we extend the warmth of family beyond our single dinner table.
Oct 31: More Than Halloween
In this service, we’ll explore the various harvest / autumnal holidays that fall at the end of October.
Lammas
Lammas is the first of three harvest celebrations in the Pagan calendar. Let us look at what it means to partake of the land, and what it takes to bring the harvest to our tables.
Independence Days of All Kinds
This Sunday is Independence Day. Let us enlarge the joy of independence beyond a colonial insurrection a long time ago.
Let’s Talk About Pride
Many of us know what the letters in “LGBTQ+” stand for, but what do we know about the experiences behind those letters?
Flower Communion
Join us as we celebrate Flower Communion – a UU sacrament created by Norbert Capek.
Mother’s Day
Today we gladly honor our mothers if we are lucky enough to have had a good one, but children of troubled mothers often have mixed feelings about Mother’s Day.
Ostara
Celebrating new beginnings and what that means for a future.
Bread Communion
Sharing bread communion together is a long-standing tradition at UUCE.
A Cloud of Witnesses
This Samhain, we celebrate the connections to our ancestors.
Father’s Day
Fathering is a big deal for the father, but usually much more so for the child.
Mother’s Day and Mothers’ Day
On this Mother’s Day, we celebrate mothering in all its different forms.
