“Living Through the Practice of Invitation”
Lay Led
10/20/2024
We Unitarian Universalists pride ourselves on welcoming everyone. We affirm that people of all races and orientations are welcome here; we often state it on our website and display the rainbow symbol of pride and celebration. But what does it mean to “Live Love Through the Practice of Invitation”? We will share a sermon called “Setting a Place for Elijah,” which illustrates what it really means to be a place of welcome for all people.
“Sin and Forgiveness”

As we mark our congregation's 81st year and the beginning of our 82nd, I wonder what we owe the past. With a present full of excitement and action, and a future open to whatever our vision calls us to be, is the past simply over, or do our founders and members from decades ago still have a claim on us? Perhaps the answer appears when we consider how we hope the future church will speak of us when we are "past" ourselves?
“Sin and Forgiveness”
Rev. Rick Hoyt-McDaniels
10/06/2024
The language of sin is foreign to the positive and encouraging faith of Unitarian Universalism. But the High Holy Days remind us that we all stray occasionally from the ideal selves we can imagine and hope to be. To deny our transgressions would be to suffer yet one more transgression against the ideal. Instead, the healthy spiritual path is to recognize where we and others fall short, and, admitting our imperfection, ask for and offer forgiveness
“Climate Revival”

Join us for a special service as part of the larger UU Climate Revival as we grow together, ushering in a new era with love and justice at the center of our climate actions. We will be remembering our love for earth, air, fire, water. We will be tapping into our love for people, especially those first and most impacted by climate disruption. We will be celebrating all of creation and recommitting our care and protection.
