The Passover Seder retells the story of the Jewish people leaving Egypt 3,000 years ago. Whether you have Jewish roots or not, you are warmly invited!
In the Exodus story of ancient Jews liberation from slavery in Egypt, it was never clear when freedom would come, or what it would look like. Three millennia later, that story still echoes in the hope and complexity of our own lives.

As Unitarian Universalists, we are positioned to be faith leaders at this critical time in our country’s and planet’s history. And it can feel overwhelming. Where do we start?

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. On this 200th anniversary of the American Unitarian Association, we'll ask if our ancestors would still recognize us.
After the service, come outside (or to the Sky Room in bad weather) for giant jenga, bean bag toss, and more lawn games.
