This is what community-powered justice looks like.

Thanks to the generosity of our congregation through the Greater Good Campaign, ROC Maidan was able to put your donations to work in a tangible, life-saving way: helping purchase this ambulance for use in Ukraine.

Every year, our community chooses to share our abundance by supporting organizations doing critical work for justice, dignity, and human flourishing. Together, our individual gifts become something much larger than any one of us could accomplish alone.

This ambulance is more than a vehicle. It’s a reminder that when people come together with compassion, courage, and a commitment to the greater good, we can make a real difference in the lives of people we may never meet.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Greater Good Campaign. Your generosity is helping move hope, care, and solidarity where they are needed most.

This Sunday, May 31 at 10:30am, join us for one of the most joyful services of the year: our Coming of Age and New Member Ceremony!

The amazing kids in this year’s Coming of Age group will share their talents, read their credos, and offer us a glimpse into their values, questions, creativity, and growing sense of self.

We’ll also welcome our newest members into the life of our congregation, celebrating the many ways people find their way into this community.

This is a beautiful service to bring friends, grandparents, and loved ones to as we celebrate courage, connection, belonging, and the next generation of Unitarian Universalists.

Today we pause to remember and honor those who died while serving in the U.S. military.

Memorial Day invites us into remembrance, gratitude, and reflection. We hold in our hearts the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the deep cost of war carried by communities across generations.

This Sunday, May 17, join us - in person or online - at 9:15am or 11:30am for worship

In “Listen: Lessons Learned,” we’ll hear reflections from Jon Randall and Lucy & Ellie Pratt as they share experiences of transformational listening: what happens when we truly make space for another person’s story, perspective, and truth.

Come be part of a service grounded in openness, connection, and the kind of listening that can change us.

If today feels heavy for you, please know you’re not alone.

You don’t need to smile through pain or feel guilty for stepping away from the celebration. Your feelings are valid. Take care of your heart today - whatever that looks like.

And if today is joyful for you, hold your loved ones close and also hold space for those for whom this day is tender.

Sending love in all its forms - wherever you are in your journey.

This Sunday, May 10, join us for worship: “Serve with Love and Humility.”

We’ll reflect on toxic charity, relationships of solidarity, and how social justice theology calls us to serve without centering ourselves, sharing power & honoring the dignity of all people.
