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.

Love and Chaos
Rev. Jill McAllister, Minister, UU Fellowship of Corvallis

For many of us, the world feels unintelligible.  It feels lost, or like we are losing it. What we thought was steady, sustained, and sensible – what made sense – now feels strange.  We thought we knew what was true, but there is always more truth than we can begin to imagine.  How will we help ourselves find a center again?

The Revs. Ryu & McAllister swap pulpits this morning.

Singing together:

  • Hymn #360 Here We Have Gathered
  • Hymn #95 There is More Love Somewhere
  • Hymn #175 We Celebrate the Web of Life

This week’s offering will benefit 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

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!
