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.

Sunday Service, November 1

10:00am – 11:15am, Sanctuary and Zoom 

Let Healing Be Our Inheritance
Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu

What wounds have we inherited, and what might we pass on? Drawing on the work of Resmaa Menakem and Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart, we explore how communities heal from racism and injustice through truth-telling, practices that help settle our bodies, and acts of care and repair.

 -> Our Ritual of Remembrance Altar will remain in the Sanctuary until after today’s service. Please feel free to add to it until then.

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!
