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.

From Worn to Wonderful: Becoming Real with The Velveteen Rabbit
Ember Morgan-Wigmore, Ministerial Intern
Please join us this coming Sunday for Transgender Day of Visibility! We’ll gather in joy, affirmation, and sacred celebration as we honor the lives, truths, and resilience of our transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse beloveds. This service will include a naming ceremony; a ritual of recognition, belonging, and deep love where we lift up and affirm the names and identities of those claiming or reclaiming their truth.
This ritual is open to any transgender, nonbinary, or gender-diverse individuals who wish to be acknowledged and celebrated, whether you’re a longtime member of our community or joining us for the very first time. All are welcome to participate, to be seen, and to be held in love just as they are.
Through reflection, storytelling, and community, we’ll explore what it means to be real, drawing wisdom from The Velveteen Rabbit and the sacredness of being fully known. Whether you are coming to speak your name or to hold space with compassion and care, your presence matters deeply. Come and be part of this holy act of love and affirmation.

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!
