Life isn’t easy, it’s full of challenges and decisions that just seem impossible to surmount. Things happen that we don’t have answers for: loss seems to be a constant companion, we reach a point where we don’t think we can cope with it anymore. We have reached the edge and the only thing out there is an abyss of uncertainty, fear, pain; even anger. I propose that that “edge” is a place of rest.

Identity is a complicated, shifting set of perspectives and priorities. How do we do the work of knowing ourselves and one another? Join us at 10:00 a.m. for a service that explores the spiritual work of finding our transformative, pluralist selves.

Sacred belonging is the ground of Universalism. In our faith, we all belong, and no one is left outside the sacred circle of life and love. Stories of supremacy, of some people belonging or deserving more than others, harm our society and our souls. These kinds of stories have been told for a long time to amass power and dominate groups of people. Join us for this Sunday service where we tell a different story, where we celebrate all of humanity, and ground ourselves in the truth that we all belong.

Various aspects of our identity reflect in changing patterns of color when held up to the light, like a kaleidoscope. Identity includes what we do, where we came from, our role in relationships, our history and lineage, how we look, our beliefs and values, the communities where we belong. As the kaleidoscope turns, identity brings meaning and celebration. Join us this Sunday when we explore how identity changes throughout our lives and is a source of resilience in times of turmoil.

Discovering one’s value, self-worth, and identity.

This Sunday we explore the active commitment we make in renewal, that every day we put a new down payment on being alive. What do you recommit yourself to?  Which vows do you renew?  Come celebrate the active work of renewal in community.

Why do we seek renewal? What does it do for us? People get pulled in many directions which can separate us from our wholeness and purpose. Join us this Sunday when we explore how to pull ourselves back together, reconnecting with what makes us new again.

We honor the love, grief, and complexity that may arise for people on Father’s Day. What is required to become a father? What is the role of a father, and how might this role have changed in your lifetime? And, in recognition of Juneteenth, we honor America’s “second independence day” in all its joy, grief, resilience, and complexity.

Gender is a topic as complex as humans are, with there being so many gender expressions and experiences. Join us this Sunday as we look to transgender authors, poets, and ministers to celebrate the transformation that comes with gender. Whether you are transgender, cisgender, or not sure about gender – join us to celebrate the transformation that comes with self-reflection and discovery!

Come renew your faith in the power and beauty of the present moment at this annual flower ceremony. Flowers’ delicate fleeting beauty brings us back to the present moment. We are here in community, sharing the beauty of this delicate, fleeting moment with one another.
