Join Rev. John, Rev. Fred, Sarah, and our interns Ryan and SarahRuth for a meaningful service focused on letting go, healing mental and spiritual pains, and embracing forgiveness. As we observe Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and the arrival of fall, this is a time to reflect inwardly so we can move outwardly with love. A special healing ritual will be shared during the service.

In her homily, Sarah Devlin-Tremble describes how the awe that nature inspires can instill in people "a sense of being connected to something larger than themselves," and "awakens a sense of humility that vanishes that over-emphasized sense of self that can put us in the mind-space and the space of heart where we are concerned about our place in the world."

2025 will be a memorable year for U.S. citizens as we watch the inauguration of a new President. Also, many will be gearing up for the nation’s semiquincentennial celebration (look at the Anniversary Program Handbook and American 250). For Unitarian Universalists, our General Assembly will be in Baltimore (June 18-25). And, embedded in and related to these three events is the 100th anniversary of the “trial of the century” - Tennessee v. Scopes, 1925 - which is still shaping our communities and families in ongoing and significant ways. Together let’s explore the lasting and shaping effects of this trial.

Is it just me? Do you too feel like the current theo-political culture is not a forgiving one? Recently I’ve been confronted with the question/task/demand of shaping an apology, which may be the easy part: The harder part is what comes after an apology? Offering an apology - asking forgiveness and staying in relationship - is not easy. Let’s explore this together. Service led by Rev. Dr. Fred Muir

Where is our home and how do we know when we are home? We explore the meaning of home, of community, and of spiritual connection, as we celebrate Lammas, learn values from an African traditional story, and celebrate the welcome of being home together. SarahRuth Davis, Community Intern Minister
