Full Church

Honor the longest day and shortest night in this all-ages celebration and gathering!

We'll gather with 4,000+ other Unitarian Universalists from around the country for this streamed service from General Assembly, the annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists.

Our summer Sunday services at 10:00am feature a variety of speakers from the congregation and beyond. Religious education classes for kids, and nursery care for infants and toddlers is offered each week. And, stick around after the service for weekly events and activities at 11:00am.

Congregation members share their thoughts and experiences about what can happen after harm is done.

Joy. Rage. Love. Despair. Ecstasy. Hope. Anxiety. Shame. Grief. Attraction. Curious. Playful. Peace.

Emotions are sneaky, inefficient, disruptive–they can pull us under or allow us to fly – and feelings are real. You have them, and so does every single other person around you. So many of us have learned that emotions need to be denied or controlled – that emotions do not hold value or meaning. But what if just the opposite were true? Showing up in our bodies – the tightness in your stomach, the heat in your palms, the openness in your chest – emotions are some of our closest teachers waiting (and sometimes demanding) to be acknowledged.

The irony of this age of e-connectivity is that people are more isolated than ever. Social fragmentation is on the rise, just when we most need one another. In this service, we'll use a Buddhist story to explore the various 'roles' we humans play in troubled times, and how essential our willingness to risk being vulnerable with one another is to our very survival.
