Beyond Diversity: Rethinking Race and Our Congregations

Sunday, September 30, 2018

Led by Scott Piepho and Worship Associate Lori Fatchet-McGee

The conversation among Unitarian Universalists about our churches and people of color tends to center on the advantages that racial diversity offers to our congregations.  That frame tracks the general conversation in our society about issues like civil rights and immigration. The more important conversation is how we guarantee equal access to institutions, including UU churches, as a matter of fundamental justice.

Sunday services are offered at 9:45 and 11:30 AM with nursery care available during both services.

You’re Uni-What?

Sunday, September 23, 2018

Led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Kathy Kerns

Unitarian Universalism is one of America’s best kept secrets.  Even those who have heard of us don’t know much about our religion.  After a light hearted look at some of the common images and stereotypes people have of UUism, we’ll explore the “elevator speech” to discover ways we can tell people about our faith and invite them to join us.

Sunday services are offered at 9:45 and 11:30 AM with nursery care available during both services.

Wake Now, Our Vision

Sunday, September 16, 2018

Led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Eric van Baars

Humankind once believed that the equator defined the end of the world.  Once this myth was proven untrue as navigators sailed beyond the equator, human progress occurred at an astonishing rate.  What is possible when we challenge our myths as human beings and a congregation and invite our vision to awaken and guide toward who we can be?  As part of the morning’s worship time, we’ll also commission and bless our Religious Education

Many Streams Make One River

Ingathering Sunday, September 9, 2018

Led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Colleen Thoele with Worship Associate Elaine Bowen 

As many streams come together to make a river, we come together to make a community.  As we return from our summer adventures bringing water and stories to share, this festive multi-generational service of water communion and ingathering invites us to once again blend our lives together and renew our connections with each other.  Please bring a small amount of water for the water communion ritual.

An Injury to One is an Injury to All

Sunday, September 2, 2018 

Led by Cal Frye and Worship Associate Carolyn Schlemmer

Step by step, the longest march can be won, and by union what we will can be accomplished still. Beyond the workplace, the message of collective labor calls us to join together, all of us, to accomplish what we will. From the Wobblies to the Welcoming Congregation, we are called to come together, for we are stronger, better together.
