Our liberal congregations were among the first to fight for LGBTIAQ+ rights and they were in instrumental in securing those rights after decades of activism and community-building. Join us for our annual service honoring Pride Month. We will offer “I Had a Bad Dream!” by the late kweer scholartivist Ibrahim Farajajé. We will also commission our newly reformed Pastoral Associates — and the Annual Meeting will follow our worship service. We hope you will join us in the Pride March next week as well!

"Ratatouille" - The Guiding Spirit of an Artist

This animated movie uses the current popularity of gastronomical adventure to address issues of creativity and the standards for judging excellence. A great artist draws upon powers available to all of us, yet we are not all great artists. Why is this so?

"Religious Education is All We Do" - Ceremony of Welcome for our DRE, Kathleen Hogue - 3 p.m.
Please Join This Ceremony of Welcome for our Director of Religious Education, Kathleen Hogue.  We will share our hopes and dreams of our shared ministry together. A light dinner reception will follow the service. Please put this date on your calendar, and help us welcome Kathleen into our church family.
 
If our UU congregation is where we come to learn how to live our liberal religious values and principles, then everything we do together is religious education. The great Universalist educator, Angus McLean, believed that how we teach is more important than what we teach. Or as McLean would say, the method is the message. How we are together in community and how we embody our covenants – this is religious education.
