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.

Why We Gather: Circles of Care
Ember Morgan-Wigmore, Ministerial Intern

Join us as we reflect on the sacred act of gathering, coming together across distances, differences, and histories. Ember, our intern minister, will be delivering their sermon remotely, sharing insights on how we create circles of care and connection, even when we can’t all be in the same physical space.

We’ll explore the layers of Thanksgiving, its beauty, its challenges, and its call to deeper connection. Through stories, meditation, and the warmth of being together, we’ll honor the resilience of human connection and the ways we find belonging. Come as you are to breathe, reflect, and root yourself in the knowledge that none of us carries life alone. Together, we’ll create a sacred space where hope and compassion can flourish.

Whether you join us in person or via Zoom, we hope you’ll find a moment to pause, breathe, and feel the strength of our shared 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.
