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.

Change Your Story
Rev. Dennis Reynolds

The world is filled with dark news and stories of conflict and discord and destruction. Can we reduce its impact and, perhaps, be better prepared to address the negativity by finding more positive stories? Might we also explore ways to change our practices to help us become more reflective and craft new versions of the stories we tell ourselves?

Let’s explore together such positive possibilities.

Singing together:

  • Hymn #347 Gather the Spirit

  • Hymn #95 There is More Love Somewhere

  • Hymn #311 Let it be a Dance

This week’s offering benefits the UUCE 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.Chan

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!
