It's a commonplace observation that most people choose their god (whether they call it god or not), because that god agrees with them, and is as small and petty and intolerant as they are. Most of us do that. How do we step past that smallness and embrace... whatever we call it? With Rev. Patrick McLaughlin preaching, Worship Associate Andy Hogg, and music under the direction of Michael Minear with accompaniment by Eli Diemert.

It is celebrated on different dates by different congregations. Come — bring a flower, learn, and participate in this beautiful service. With Rev.

Unitarian Universalism has a long history of concern about our systems of policing, justice, and punishment. These concerns are complex and deep — what should justice look like? Come learn about that history and our commitments, and about the work that is being done right now among congregations, leading towards a new, official statement on these issues (in about a year). We'll also be welcoming new members! With Rev. Patrick McLaughlin preaching, Worship Associate Nancy Paxton, and music by the Beacon Choir under the direction of Michael Minear with accompaniment by Eli Diemert.

Democracy is a fundamental value and commitment of Unitarian Universalists. We Americans tend to think of democracy as something we are, not something we do. That attitude may be one of the fundamental failures of the American republic. How do we do democracy better? With Rev. Patrick McLaughlin preaching, Worship Associate Andy Hogg, and music under the direction of Michael Minear with accompaniment by Eli Diemert.
