How can we best become a box of crayons? Multi-hued and complementary to one another…Each color contributing to the big picture. Join us Sunday!

Music is an integral part of our worship and our lives. Come join us for Music Sunday as we learn, celebrate, and enjoy music together.

Come celebrate the new life that spring brings and explore our interdependence with the web of all existence - with trees and flowers, with squirrels and snakes. This will be a multigenerational, multisensory service woven of story, song, meditation, and ritual. Please bring a flower with you for our Flower Ceremony. If you can, bring your flower in a white plastic yogurt or cottage cheese container for an upcycling project with Connecting Community Corridors for People, Pollinators, and the Planet in Beach Hall after the service.

What can resurrection mean in the spiritual sense?

Disability has historically been something that our society has relegated to the dark corners, hidden away as if it's an embarassment. What would it mean for us to flip the script and view disability as something to be celebrated and embraced?

There are so many ways we would like to see our community and our world transform to become a more loving, just, and inclusive place. It often takes perseverance, consistency, and working together over a long period of time to make these transformations. Come hear inspiring stories of how transformation can happen!

The way that we share our stories is illuminating and powerful! Join our congregation's teens for an interactive Expressive Worship highlighting our stories and shared experiences. Our annual youth-led service is presented by First UU's middle and high school Youth Group!

Transformation seems a popular word these days - something connoting something much more dramatic than just 'change.' While we certainly may seek to deeply examine our lives perhaps a goal of transformation is a bit too much pressure? In advance of the mid-year meeting we'll talk about how this relates to our developmental work as a congregation, as well as for ourselves.
