At its simplest, creativity is the bringing into being of something that didn’t previously exist, whether it’s a work of art, an experience, or a new human being. Join us for a Mother’s Day exploration of the ways we create and the influences, good and less so, on our creativity

As one of our movement’s few Hindu-identified Unitarian Universalist clergy, Rev. Manish brings a unique and fresh take on our faith, the impact it can have, and our struggles. Join us on this special Sunday as Rev. Manish shares his journey in our movement with us, inviting us to reflect on, together, the very best of what Unitarian Universalism is and can continue to be.

From “Don’t Say Gay” bills to the swath of laws criminalizing gender affirming and abortion-related care, attacks on bodily autonomy in the US are escalating at an alarming pace. And, this nation has always targeted certain kinds of bodies as less worthy of protection and freedom than others. How can our UU theologies of bodily autonomy and the sacredness of all bodies serve as an antidote? Join us for a conversation about the power and resilience of embodiment, intersectionality, radical spiritual imagination, and the liberation of all our sacred bodies.

Trying to find hope in this time of climate crisis can feel daunting and even impossible. Thankfully, many of the scientists and activists closest to the challenges we all face have found ways to live with integrity and joy while making a positive difference. Join us on this Earth Day Sunday when we will explore individual and collective possibilities to live up to our 7th UU Principle and approach the reality of climate change with respect for the interdependent web of existence of which we are all a part.

For most of us, daily life goes on as before even as authoritarianism continues its creeping rise in our state, country, and world. And that’s part of the playbook, a veneer of normalcy as freedoms and democracy erode. The good news: Resistance is NOT futile. Join us as we explore what’s at risk and what’s working, and how we can live out our deepest values in these times.

Scholar Reza Aslan wrote in his book Zealot: the Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, “There are only two hard historical facts about Jesus of Nazareth: first, Jesus was a Jew who led a popular Jewish movement in Palestine at the beginning of the first century C.E.; second, Rome crucified him for doing so.” Join us this Easter Sunday when we’ll consider the resistance embedded in the early Jesus movement’s message of new life after they lost their beloved leader to state–sanctioned violence.

On this Palm Sunday in the Christian tradition, we’ll explore who we think Jesus was. What can we know for sure? What do we think are his most important teachings from the time in which he lived and worked to resist a huge domination system—the Roman empire. How do we identify and nurture the seeds of our own resistance in the quest for personal and communal liberation?

You know those people who just get under your skin? The ones whose opinions are wrong, whose laughs are annoying, whose outfits are….whatever. And you know how sometimes they sort of, kind of, maybe are just a little like you? None of us could be who we are without being all the versions of ourselves that we were before, but sometimes it’s tempting to pretend we don’t even know our past selves. Bring all that here and let’s find the sacred in it: see you on Sunday!

Holding our breath and taking the plunge can be both nerve-racking and exhilarating, whether it’s tackling a new role, visiting a new place, or sharing a talent or a new creation with others. Join us for an exploration of degrees and kinds of vulnerability — transitory or not, chosen or not.
