The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia

A few weeks ago, we honored our beloved dead, taking time to remember our ancestors, whether family, chosen, or spiritual. It seems simple to assess a person’s legacy in hindsight, but much more challenging to consider our own legacy. How will our descendants remember us and how might we be intentional about trying to be a good ancestor. 

Speaker and Guests: Bryan Barrett, Gregory Seidman, Kelli Danaker, Linda Adcox-Kimmel, Meagan Lopes, Melissa Affolter, Michael Adcock, Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper and the UUCC Chalice Choir.

No matter what happens on November 5, whether or not the outcome of the election is known by the time this service begins, Unitarian Universalists have work to do. Remember that the work of creating justice and equity is neither a marathon nor a sprint, but a relay race. We will reflect together and revisit our personal spiritual grounding.

Speakers and Guests: Ed Gaddy, Lorien Haavik, Michael Adcock, Pavel DeJesús. the Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper and Tom Benjamin (in absentia)

Unitarian Universalists speak often about our call to make the world around us a better place. As we count the days before the presidential election, let’s pause for a moment to recall the roots of that call and what it means for us today.

Our religious pluralism means that Unitarian Universalists hold many different beliefs and understandings of the sacred, and we sometimes get tripped up by words whose meaning we don’t know or agree on. Good thing we all have a Universal Translator that we can use to help us out!

Speakers and participants: Annilin Fort, Kelli Danaker, Laurie Cultri, Linda Adcox-Kimmel and the Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper

Using poetry, song, and personal reflection, we will explore the spiritual practices of wonder and gratitude.

Subject: As part of the Climate Justice Revival this service will engage laughter, learning, reflection, lamentation, and joy, as we feed our spirits and move forward nourished and connected with love at the center of our climate actions.

In 1961, the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America joined together and became the Unitarian Universalist Association. It was not an impulsive decision. It was a significant moment in our collective history, one event on the historical timeline leading to our current time and place. This Sunday we will consider some of the main threads of belief and values that have remained constant and will carry us forward into the future.

Speakers: Judith Shure, Linda Adcox-Kimmel, Michael Adcock, Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper, Stever Parr and the UUCC Chalice Choir
