Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Beaufort

An open, liberating community in which to grow and connect in the Lowcountry. Services 10am Sundays.

A flame within a chalice (a wide-lipped stemmed cup), like that which you can see at the top of this page, represents the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and is a symbol of the Unitarian Universalist (UU) faith. Hans Deutsch, an Austrian artist, first brought together the chalice and the flame as a Unitarian symbol during his work with the Unitarian Service Committee during World War II. To Deutsch, the image had connotations of sacrifice and love. Unitarian Universalists today have many different interpretations of the image. To many, the cup represents religious community, while the flame represents ideas including the sacrificial flame, the flame of the spirit, and more.

The labor movement played a crucial role in our nation's history, and it is easy to take for granted its accomplishments. Since then, the labor movement has been so weakened that it is hard to imagine Labor Day being named a holiday if it did not already exist. As workers face new challenges today, what would it take to restore the rights, dignity, equity, and opportunity that the labor movement once produced?

What is the second 'U' of 'UU' all about? What was Universalism historically, before the Unitarian Universalist merger? What does Universalism mean in other religious contexts, and what does it mean to us today? -Rev. Nathan Woodliff-Stanley

No matter what is going on in the world and in our lives, the very fact of our existence on this amazing, beautiful planet in the vastness of the universe remains miraculous. How do we awaken our sense of wonder at the beauty and mystery all around us?

A few Sundays ago, Rev. Nathan gave a sermon on the topic of Punishment as part of the Abolition Series, a series revolving around the topic of incarceration in our society and in our lives. While Rev. Nathan discussed the issues revolving around our retributive "justice" system rooted in punishment, Administrator David Crumley will discuss the alternative. How do we build systems of accountability that don't revolve around punishment, what does it mean to be accountable to one another, society writ large and also (just as important) the natural environment? When we commit acts of harm against others and the wider world, how do we hold each other accountable without resorting to punishment as the answer?

Many children enter first grade without prior early education, while others have already benefited from preschool or kindergarten. This is often where the achievement gap in our schools begins - and, in some cases, it is never fully closed. Join us this Sunday, as guest speaker, Col. Richard Geier discusses this issue of the achievement gap and how we can close it.

Also, after the service we will have a panel discussion in the Fellowship Hall during our social hour, please bring some food for everyone to enjoy during the event!

Our lives are often full of things we have "got to" do--tasks or obligations or necessities. How many of those "got to" things are intertwined with the gifts of being alive, and does it help to think of them as things we also "get to" do?

On this Sunday before Memorial Day it is important for Americans to remember and honor those who have sacrificed their lives and their futures in military service to our country. Is it not also the responsibility of "We the People" to demand that our leaders and representatives make just and wise decisions before committing the lives of courageous young Americans to combat and endangering the lives of citizens of other nations?
