Our House and Home: Memories and Identity
We live in a world where cultural and physical relocations ask for constant transformation into the essence of who we are. As the old Cuban wisdom says, "The walls turned on their sides, are bridges." Through the symbolic imagery of House and Home, we share Inside Out: Mirror of Identity and Outside In: Connecting Memories to build a common bridge of humanity.

Frederick Douglass: Fashioning Hope from Despair in Trying Times
Fugitive slave, abolitionist, orator, preacher, journalist, editor, writer, and statesman, Frederick Douglass wore many hats in his lifetime to help a nation find meaning in moments of crisis, becoming, in the process, an important symbol of his age. Grounded in a combination of secular and religious ideas and drawn to Unitarianism, Douglass's outlook and interpretation of America's passage from slavery to freedom remains instructive for the current moment.

God is Everything

Power and Wisdom
In our UU tradition, we strive to "put love at the center;" our society as a whole appears to hold power as its central and highest value. Wisdom lies somewhere in between, but where exactly? And what is the wise response when we see and feel power abused? Let's look into this together.

On Listening to Life
In what ways could our lives be changed if we made a commitment to explore how our own experiences can be a source of deep wisdom when navigating life’s big questions or decisions? In this service, we will consider how paying close attention to the patterns, challenges, and joys of our lives can guide us toward clarity and discernment. Together, we'll seek to cultivate the practice of listening to our lives as a sacred source of insight and direction.
Speaker: Rachel Rogers
