What can help release people from the jaws, the tyranny, the coercion of superstitions of all kinds, giving humanity a better chance of surviving and thriving along with the rest of Earth’s biosphere? We will consider an answer.

We humans are nostalgic creatures. We love to remember the "good old days." But sometimes, we walk a dangerous path when we put the past on a pedestal. Part 2 of our sermon series on HERITAGE.

This morning, ask Rev. John your burning questions.

Our Soul Matters theme for October is HERITAGE. We begin with a look at a few of the major strands of our UU inheritance.

The great UU experiment doesn't only welcome your diverse beliefs. All your doubts and questions and don't-knows have a place here, too. This week, we look at how welcoming the questions might be more radical than the lack of any creed.

Whoever you are ... Whatever You Believe ... This week, we look at the heart of the big UU experiment - a welcome into religious community that transcends individual belief.

Join us as we gather for the beginning of a new church year, as we pause to remember just what it is that makes this "church."

Advocates of the slow travel movement seek out opportunities to add thematically inspired stops to their journeys.

These books inspired and directed my side trips to some very interesting Native American sites in 2023.

In the face of so much uncertainty and chaos in our world, we're all looking for a way to forge meaningful connections and make a difference. None of us are alone in this desire. This week, some reflections on what Unitarian Universalism has to offer those in search of meaning in community.

Some thoughts on what it means to practice radical hospitality - toward one another, and toward our larger community.

How can messiness lead to beauty? How can messiness lead to much needed change? How can messiness lead to creating something beautiful together? Communal work to build the Beloved Community isn’t always easy and we will make mistakes. Being willing to embrace the messiness of this work and the imperfection, is a courageous act. This Sunday, let’s be courageous and experi-fail together as we begin the process of weaving our visions for a true Beloved Community together.

There are possibilities to explore.
