Where Our Duty Lies

May 31, 2026 at 10:30 am

The term “Duty” often feels heavy, even crushing. A term seemingly made for others driven by militaristic or ideological bent that ends up as an obstacle to progress, rather than a path. However as Unitarian-Universalists and, indeed, as people, we do have a Duty. One that is not beholden to a rigid form or hard, fast path. One that can keep us in of the moment, and dedicated to a wider world. Come explore what it means to do one’s duty and the many we – even unknowingly – accomplish the task.

John Daquila, lay theologian, NUUC member, father, and Commissioned Lay Minister candidate preaches today.

Art as Spiritual Practice

May 24, 2026 at 10:30 am

The UU commitment to the development of moral imagination means that art holds a special place in our movement not just as a past time or an aesthetic, but as a means of making meaning. Today we celebrate the creative spirit as central to the human act of becoming. Also, this Sunday, a children’s art show!

On the Importance of Being Earnest

May 17, 2026 at 10:30 am

In an age that often rewards irony and distance, many are rediscovering the quiet courage of being earnest. This Sunday we explore the spiritual power of sincerity, the liberation of embracing “cringe,” and the deep human longing to care openly in a world that needs our whole hearts.

Everyone has a journey that led them to where they are now. Today Commissioned Lay Minister Teri Cornell speaks about our 3rd principal, “acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations”. And shares her spiritual journey story from Catholicisim, Presbyterianism, Unitarianism Universalism and now an interest in Kitchen Witchery. And how the welcoming table of our UU tradition makes this place a safe place to explore many paths.

Jesus and Socrates Walk into a Bar

May 3, 2026 at 10:30 am

For generations, Unitarians have set Jesus and Socrates side‑by‑side as moral teachers. This Sunday we imagine them in conversation, exploring how their shared courage, compassion, and questions can guide our own lives. A playful title opens a deeper exploration of what Jesus and Socrates share: courage, compassion, and the art of asking better questions. What might their imagined conversation teach us about living wisely and kindly today?
