    Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year- a time for both being judged and letting go of old mistakes. It is time to begin the work of new creation, and to allow life to lead you in new ways. Come and see how this holiday can make a difference in your life, and make a joyful noise!

  • The Merits And Moral Imperative of Smiting

    Send us Fan Mail

    It has been said that all that is necessary for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing. What does it look like, then, for good people to interrupt evil? Must we be rude? In a word: yes. Yes, we must.

  • Change the Harvest

    Send us Fan Mail

    For some witches and Pagans, Lammas is the first of three points in the year honoring the harvest. It asks us to focus on the “first harvests” of our lives and in the world around us. Literal harvests often go through changes to become the products we love, and we can also apply this observation to our metaphorical harvests. Join us in considering what we harvest in our lives, how we transform it, and how it transforms us in turn. 

    Join us for this service with Birch Spick which explores the things we harvest in the world.

  • From Languishing to Flourishing

    Send us Fan Mail

    As the landscape around us continues to shift seemingly from one day to the next, how do we transition from a state of languishing – not quite depressed, but not really thriving – to one in which we can flourish? Join us as we explore what positive psychology has to teach us about living into wellbeing, even in the midst of uncertainty.

    Join us for this service lead by Heidi Levine.

    Australian Indigenous activist, Lilla Watson, says, “If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

  • Fill Up Your Cups

    Send us Fan Mail

    As Unitarian Universalists, we're compelled to heal and help others by refilling their vessels. But sometimes, we're refilling from our own empty vessels. This service is about learning to fill and heal ourselves first, before we take care of others. 

    Join music therapist and UCDSM member Meghan Westphal for this engaging service using music and imagery.

  • Interdependence Day

    Send us Fan Mail

    Our Unitarian Universalist faith values independence -- freedom of belief, freedom of thought, and more -- but we also value interdependence -- connection to and support of one another, connection to and honoring of the earth and its creatures.  So for this holiday weekend we'll look at how to hold these things in balance in our faith and in our lives.

    Join Rev. Dr. Cynthia Landrum and explore connection.
