Upcoming Worship Services

August 31, 2025, "Creativity Service" (Soul Matters) Jessica Kado

Creativity is a spiritual practice which invites us on the journey of self discovery. 

September 7, 2025 “Gathering at the Water’s Edge” Reverend Megan Visser

Water flows and fills the cracks and crevices of our lives. Join us in a service of water communion as we reunite for the beginning of our liturgical year.

As part of the participation in this annual community ritual, you are invited to bring a small lidded cup of water from a place of significance to you from a recent travel experience, a local water source, or your home tap.

September 14, 2025 “A Journey to Belonging – Stepping Into the Circle” Kellie Kinsman

How do we build belonging?  And what does Belonging mean?  It’s a radical welcome and invitation just To Be.  And for me, like everything, it starts with the courage to heal what I don’t know is broken.

September 21, 2025 “Why Do We Gather?” Nicholas D’Agosto

What kind of statement are we making when we show up for church? What opportunities for justice are we creating? What does it mean to have a "spiritual home," and what role do conflict and vulnerability play in making that home a loving one?

Launching Our Theme-Based Ministry, 2025-2026

Our church belongs to the Soul Matters Sharing Circle, a network of Unitarian Universalist congregations who commit to connecting with monthly spiritual themes. Beginning in September, our worship services and religious exploration program will becentered around the Soul Matters themes. You will also notice our themes popping up in other places -- the marquee sign out front will have monthly themed welcome statements connecting our neighborhood with what is inspiring us that month and via our newsletter, our minister Rev. Megan will invite you to explore spiritual practices connected to the themes.

Listed in the graphic below, these themes offer us an opportunity to go deeper into our practices of Unitarian Universalism as a whole UUCSC community. One goal of the Soul Matters themed ministry is “to get us out of our heads and into our lives.” Whether you are new to Unitarian Universalism or a long-time UU, these offerings provide a variety of paths to connect to our faith and one another from week-to-week.
