February 5 – “SB43 and HB1156: What They Are and Why We Care.”

January 31, 2023 by Fawn Smith

The controversial Senate Bill 43 and House Bill 1156 are making their way through the Arkansas government. In this service, Rev. Steven shares some of what they’ve learned from research about the bills. What are they? Why do some people want them? Why do others object? How can we live out our First Principle in this context?

January 22 – “Pros and Cons of Nonviolence”

January 18, 2023 by Fawn Smith

This Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day when many people celebrated his “I Have a Dream” speech and commended his nonviolence. In this Sunday’s service, Rev. Steven helps us reflect on King’s more complex legacy and consider the complicated relationship between violence and nonviolence in the ongoing battle for systemic justice.

January 8 – “Hell? No!”

January 3, 2023 by Fawn Smith

Does a literal hell exist? Most Americans think it does and that anyone who doesn’t believe the right things will be eternally tortured. Did you know that the Universalist part of UUism is rooted in the idea of universal salvation – that all will be saved? We invite you to join us as our own Dr. Gene Vinzant presents reasons to believe that hell doesn’t exist.

January 1, 2023 – “A UU Way to Holiday: Winter Solstice and Christmas on New Year’s Day.”

December 27, 2022 by Fawn Smith

Weather and other situations beyond our control prevented us from enjoying some planned holiday services, so this Sunday we’ll make up for it by combining holidays! On this New Year’s Day, our service contains Winter Solstice rituals, led by our Web of Life group, and a message from Rev. Steven.
