Roots hold me close; wings set me free

The “Spirit of Life” hymn echoes with the words roots hold me close; wings set me free, reminding us of our faith’s living tradition. Unitarian Universalists treasure the stories and wisdom given by our spiritual ancestors, and we also embrace new learning. We celebrate the diversity that enriches our faith and strive to deepen our understanding through continuous growth and expansion of our wisdom.

Useful Anger; Transforming Big Feelings
Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu

Based on a Marge Piercy poem, today’s worship celebrates the range of human emotions–even the uncomfortable ones.  This is also the day we are welcoming new members to UUCE.

  • Hymn #346 Come Sing a Song
  • Hymn #1031 May I Be Filled with Loving Kindness
  • Hymn #1015 I Know I Can

This Sunday’s Collection will go to our General Fund.

During worship, Room 1 is a space for people who need or prefer less sensory stimulation. Thank you for using this room respectfully and mindfully.

We continued our Monthly Justice Actions and celebrated Sacred Events together in community.

Justice: Faith in Action

Ours is a faith that seeks and does justice. That work is, as the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker says, a “striving for what is not yet but could be.”

A church doing justice work differs from the way other organizations or institutions do justice work in its grounding, framing, and motivation. In what guides us as we do the work. In what we return to when threatened by discouragement or violence. If we want to go the distance, then we must have a firm footing to live from, not just morally or intellectually or ethically, but spiritually.

Get involved with Environmental Justice, Economic Justice, Legislative Action, and Racial Justice today!
