July 25 – “The Friendship Factor”

July 21, 2021 by Fawn Smith

For most people, having a network of good friends is a vital part of a happy life. Yet, we struggle to maintain those friendships. The recent months of social isolation have made it even harder to stay connected. What can we do to create and cultivate lasting friendships? Join us this Sunday as Gene Vinzant shares his thoughts on “The Friendship Factor.”

July 11 – “Hopes and Progress”

July 7, 2021 by Fawn Smith

With speaker, Brooke Eldredge. It’s been a tough 4+ years, and the less-than-ideal state of America has left many longing for the days of old. But are things really worse than they used to be? Dr. Steven Pinker, a Harvard cognitive psychologist and author of “Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism and Progress,” claims that by almost every metric of human well-being, the world is getting better. Yet progress is seldom noticed, and we certainly don’t hear about it often in the news. Join us as we look at a brighter side of the current state of America.

July 4 – “Reframing the Fourth”

June 29, 2021 by Fawn Smith

With Rev. Dr. Steven Gaines. This Sunday is Independence Day, a day when many people celebrate freedom. Not all groups in this nation have experienced that freedom equally. You’re invited to join us as we consider how practices of dependence, grounded in our UU Principles, can contribute to freedom at social, congregational, and personal levels.

Pi Luna art - Taking Back the Field

“Until Love Wins – Today’s challenging times require a nimble and resilient spirituality. We need a demanding, inspiring faith and a love strong enough that it will not let us go. Join us as we draw the circle wide, gather our strength, and promise to stay in the struggle and joy until love wins.” UUA General Assembly is happening this weekend, and that means that UU Churches from all over the world will join in a communal worship service experience this Sunday. It’s the largest annual gathering of UUs joining in worship. You can view the General Assembly service here.

June 20 – “Imagine a Ministry.”

June 16, 2021 by Fawn Smith

Liberal Religions chose to have ministers as servants of the faith and its people, instead of priests, who represent a hierarchical power. Think of what your ministry would be like, as I speak to a ministry I could not have imagined. Led by Rev. Jim Parrish.

May 30 – “Justice, Sex, Change, and Death.”

May 25, 2021 by Fawn Smith

With Rev. Jim Parrish. We’ve talked about a lot of topics these past 7 years, not the least of which are listed in the title, except Death… and grief, which we probably haven’t touched on enough. Transitions create tension, love and concern is heightened, and if we grieve change/death well, we learn our strengths and can hold our sorrows with tenderness. Join us this Sunday and let’s talk about change and what it might mean.

What keeps them going and going? You will be inspired to hear from several of our Board members, including Ronda Jean (RJ), Mike McMullin, and Joe Euculano. Join us!
