Join us for a contemplative Christmas celebration, in person or online at 8pm. Presented by Rev. Kelli McNeal and Rev. Dr. Terasa Cooley. Our Christmas Eve offering goes to the Minister’s Discretionary Fund (MDF), which serves First UUers and others who need emergency assistance. Thank you for your generosity and care.
During this season when we hear a lot about the Christmas story, I thought it would be interesting to focus on one of the characters that is often ignored: Mary.
What must we do to find happiness and contentment with our lives?
How do we live in a world where so much feels broken and pulled apart? Is there a way of leaning into the brokenness that helps us learn something new about ourselves and what is being asked of us?
UUism is not a creedal religion, but we still often get asked “what do UUs believe about…?” How can we talk about belief in a way that honors the variety of viewpoints among us?
The Jewish tradition of Yom Kippur asks us to acknowledge our mistakes and try to make repair for them. What might repair and restoration look like?
One of the core lenses through which Unitarian Universalists see the world is the theoology of humanism. What might humanism mean today?
One of the questions I received during my “Question Box” service was “what is evil?” I didn’t address it then because it’s a big question! But I want to explore it now in the context of bad things happening in the world. What is evil and what can we do about it?
Ingathering Service “No Stranger Dwells Here” As we welcome in this new congregational year we want to explore what it would mean to welcome all into a community that understands itself as a work in progress.
The Archives Team has worked hard to collect and put together the history of our congregation. Rev. Terasa and the Archives team will share the highlights in this service. Congregants can enjoy articles, pictures and more documenting our journey of 85 years on panels on display in the Gallery and Worship Center until August 26.
