Gather to hear stories of the impact of … Continue reading Lifting Our Voices, Sharing Our Light

Sometimes resilience looks like tenderness, sometimes it is not found quickly, but over several generations, and sometimes resilience is used as an excuse to celebrate those who overcome oppressive systems, rather than digging into the work to change those systems. With a look at these … Continue reading Staying Tender
In this month’s multigenerational service, we use our theme of Embodying Resilience to try out practices as a community.

Come to feed your spirit and build your resilience … Continue reading Rekindling Resilience
Our Unitarian, Universalist, and UU ancestors have come together in solidarity with justice movements throughout our history. Sometimes big and public, sometimes quietly working from a basement.

Two December holidays invite us into reflections on the hope that is found in growing light: Hanukkah begins Sunday evening, and we mark the Solstice next Sunday. In this cozy, reflective service, we’ll spend time with the stories of both of these holidays and their messages of hope found in enduring light.

As we begin to explore that theme, we look at what it means to choose hope through the lens of part of the Advent story. Come hear a … Continue reading Magnify: An Advent Service of Hope
