UU Community Church of Washington County's Podcast

In the Christian Easter tradition, Christ is reborn in a way that the disciples don't recognize. What do you do when change gets ahead of you? What is the role of elders in a living tradition?

What does it mean to know and love a place? Can we make a home for ourselves while still feeling like a guest somewhere? Our speaker will reflect on her experience coming to the Pacific Northwest and her experiences navigating life as a guest in this community.

A hero of many UUs, Jan Hus, was burnt at the stake for welcoming differences that the church disallowed.  In this service we explore where we celebrate difference and where we unabashedly call for unity.

The Holi festival celebrates the victory of good over evil – but which force would actually win the cosmic battle?  Love?  Justice

Rev. Ben will do a Question Box sermon.  What questions do you have about life, death, or anything else?  The Time for All Ages will also be a Question Box.

March 8 is International Women's Day.  It's a good time to honor the lives and accomplishments of women - and to examine what being a "woman" means.  The words used by different cultures to describe women tell us a lot about how female identity is valued (or not).  These words also tell us how specific duties and responsibilities are linked to gender - but they don't have to be! Come hear how we can use words to lift up women everywhere.

This is the third of a three-part series on how we treat each other. Last week we looked at how we promise to treat each other. This week we look at what to do when someone falls short (or someone else thinks they fell short). When there is a disconnect, how do we reconnect?

This is the second of a three-part series on how we treat each other. This part is on the promises we make. When we are intentional about how we treat each, what shall we intend? What will set us up for relationships of depth, connection and resilience?

We love each other. Sometimes it's easy, and sometimes it takes some navigating. In this service, we explore the dance of love. What happens when we're not dancing the same dance? This is the first of a three-part sermon series on how we treat each other.

We have explored empathy as a building block for connection.  On our Interim journey together, we’ve learned and grown through heart-to-heart conversations and listening circles.  How can active practice of empathy extend our connections, strengthen our relationships, expand our horizons, and deepen our understanding?
