As we move into the next presidential chapter of the American story, let’s ground ourselves in our UU values of Justice and Equity. We’ve said that every human being has inherent worthiness and dignity. We have declared that every person has the right to flourish. How do we work to bring this about?

On the eve of the presidential inauguration and the holiday honoring the Rev Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we reflect on the historical ups and downs in the long arc towards racial justice in the U.S. We take the long view looking towards the future, always keeping love at the center.
What are some of the stories we hold in this congregation that make us who we are? Let’s celebrate the strength and resilience of UUCK, and the many extraordinary folks whose vision and resolve created this community!

January 6th is Epiphany, traditionally the day when we celebrate the visit of the Wise Men, or Magi, who followed a mysterious star and brought gifts for the child in the manger. What gifts can we find in our own stories and visions that can guide us through the coming year?

The Soul Matters theme for December is presence. During the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it is often difficult to just be present, to just be. This service will explore what it means to be present in the here and now and what a gift presence can be to both others and ourselves.

This all-ages service held at 9:15 AM and 11:00 AM will celebrate the stars! Through dance, song and story, the children of our beloved community will offer tales of Christmas magic and joy. Come and be reminded that all of us, (that means you, too!), are made of stars!
Christmas holds the promise of all the blessings we still yearn to see in our weary world. Join us for this special evening service, as we celebrate the magic of that holy night, when the angels sang glad tidings of a child’s birth.

The “most wonderful time of the year” can also be the most difficult, the most depressing, or the most overwhelming time. What if we’re not filled with jolly good spirits during the month of December? What if our hearts are breaking– or we’re feeling sad and lonely– or we’re angry or despondent about the human-caused suffering in our world? How can we skip holiday hoopla that drains us, and seek our own true peace and comfort?
The flaming chalice is the symbol of our Unitarian Universalist faith. Each Sunday all over the country and even in many other countries, we light the chalice at the beginning of our time of worship. How did this image of the chalice with a flame become our tradition? Join us this Sunday as we share the story of our flaming chalice and what it means to individual UU’s.
We invite you to bring your own chalice with you to church if you woul…
