Brunch Service & Postcarding

Mark your calendar for the annual summer brunch. We will get to know each other better through conversation and the sharing of good food. Bring something to share: casserole, fruit, bread, or pastry, or volunteer to help set up or clean up. The Social Justice Committee will also provide postcards to encourage people to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. All are welcome!

In these days, as we struggle to protect our neighbors and loved ones and to preserve our democracy, I truly believe Unitarian Universalists have everything we need to be resilient and meet this moment faithfully together, even when we are afraid.

We are the inheritors of a faith and practice from ancestors who have chosen to dream together for more than two centuries. In our congregations and communities, we are called to build concrete expressions of our values, to transform what we know into what might be possible, and then to courageously invest in that dreaming again and again.

I believe that we can protect our neighbors, support our congregations, invest in our freely chosen Association, and pass our living tradition on to the next generations refined by the fires of this moment. We will do this together, beloveds, because our very history teaches us that the things we build together, in community, are greater than anything we can do alone.

The Unitarian Universalist Association welcomes this week's U.S. Supreme Court decision reaffirming birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

Our faith calls us to value pluralism and interdependence, recognizing that our communities are strengthened—not diminished—by people of many cultures, backgrounds, and stories. We welcome the Court's reaffirmation that those born in the United States are citizens.

“The World in a Grain of Sand”

with Rev. Susan Panttaja, Margo McCandless, and Brian Shaw

Sometimes, when we feel dissatisfied with our lives, we yearn for something more, something different. What if we can find new meaning in curiosity – about what fills our lives, what surrounds us, and what might be just around the corner?
