The Climate Action Ministry is excited to welcome the Rev. Kelly Dignan, Co-Director of UU Ministry for Earth, to help us explore how we can center the inherent worth and dignity of every person in the face of climate disruption and environmental degradation. Join us as we kick off Earth Month with music from the Chancel Cats!
We're a religious movement united not by a set of share theological statements, but a set of shared values and by the promises that we make to one another: united by covenant.

History doesn't repeat, but it does instruct. The obvious and iconic signs of tyranny like book burnings and mass violence may keep us from recognizing the early warning signs that we should be paying attention to.

Across the denomination our guiding principles have been studied, reviewed and updated to better reflect our evolving faith.

Led by Dr. Emily and Tad Koriath with the choir and Chancel Cats.

For 1,500 years, theologians and philosophers have debated when and how and why war can be justified. But however clean those theories might be, the difference between theory and practice is always greater in practice than in theory.

Celebrate the 101st anniversary of this annual Unitarian service at this one intergenerational 10:00am service! Norbert Čapek, founder of the Unitarian Church in Czechoslovakia, saw the need to unite the diverse congregants of his church from varying Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths. For this reason, in 1923, he honored the universal beauty of nature by having a communion of flower instead of the Eucharist. Please bring a flower to share during the service.
Experience our contemplative "early service" format at 10:00am this week as Rev. David and Dr. Emily lead this contemplative worship in the round, with a cappella congregational singing. We'll anchor in joy, wonder, and awe exactly at the moment the world around us can feel overwhelming and out of control.
You'll have the chance to submit your favorite hymns for this music-filled service, led by Dr. Emily.
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.
Relationships are hard. Relationships in community can be harder still. When being invited into richer, more vulnerable connections with one another, hurts inevitably happen. Finding our way back to real repair requires more than a simple apology. In her book, On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg explores the writings of the medieval philosopher Maimonides. Maimonides laid out a very specific process for moving from brokenness to repair -- a process, she says, that could help untangle the most challenging of interpersonal struggles and international disputes.
Heidi Todd, Amy Self and newcomer Joshua Robinson will explore the transformational relationship of art and spiritual experience. Movement, Music and Poetry will be the themes, with participation by the congregation. Jack Doggett will serve as worship leader, with music by Austin Skeffington, Paula Staffeldt and Clint Brown.
Are borders helpful or a hindrance? Can we see beyond what divides us to what makes us whole?
How to explain what this religious tradition we're part of really is all about, in the fewest, clearest possible way.

With love centered as a core value of the faith, more than 3,400 Unitarian Universalists from around the country and world gathered for an all-virtual Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly. Our UUCB delegates can't wait to tell you all about it!
