Looking for a way to celebrate Pride in your congregation?

The UUA's 2026 Pride worship service, “Interdependence,” is a complete worship service available for congregations to use. Grounded in the history of LGBTQ+ resilience, mutual care, and liberation, it invites participants to explore one of our shared values and reflect on the many ways our lives are connected.

You can access the worship materials at the link in comments.

We also thank Rev. Dr. Kimi Floyd Reisch for creating this resource!

Last night the full choir came together to rehearse for our gorgeous music service on Sunday. We look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10AM: it will be spiritually uplifting and physically energizing, guaranteed.

Wishing everyone deep love, care, and connection as we begin Pride Month this year. As a q***r, Afro-Latina cis-woman, I know well how important the example of BIPOC leadership is and how much q***r leadership matters.

To all of my LGBTQIA+ fam within Unitarian Universalism and beyond, may we celebrate our many gifts and community and continue to care for and encourage one another in all the days ahead. We are sacred, whole, and holy – and we are here to stay, to lead, and thrive.

Happy Pride, fam.

A wonderful Faith Formation service today! Welcome to our next minister Rev Terri Dennehy whom we look forward to seeing again in August. And congratulations to all the children and youth - and their parents - who made today’s service especially meaningful.

We send our unwavering support for Unitarian Universalists (UU) in uniform and our UU military chaplains. We recently learned the Department of Defense (DOD) has removed 180 separate religious affiliations from the US military’s list of religious affiliation codes. This eliminates the code for Unitarian Universalists, as well as Humanists, Atheists and Pagan traditions, and many others. Along with dozens of other religious traditions, UUs will be categorized broadly under “Other” in military’s religious affiliation codes.

Please note this decision does not directly impact the status of our UU military chaplains, who are authorized through a separate faith-based endorsement process with the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). What it does mean is that Unitarian Universalist service members will not be able to select their specific religious identity in their personnel records. This may make it more difficult for our uniformed UUs to access the spiritual care that they need.

At this time, we are diligently working with our UUA counsel and partners in a variety of faith traditions to craft a strategic response that faithfully represents our values and demonstrates clear support for our UU service members and their families, as well as all those who are impacted by this DOD policy.

We will share more information when it is available. But today, we declare that no government action can erase our faith nor lessen the powerful and necessary grounding it provides for those who serve.

Last night our Board got out on the water for some relaxing time together after a successful congregational year. A fun time was had by all! (And thanks to fellow UU members Rob Laug and and their new business www.moonlitsailingtours.com - check them out!)

Another great service yesterday welcoming new members and celebrating musical talents. And this time of year it’s such a lush green view outside our glass walls. Lovely on all counts.

How great to see our former intern, the Rev. Margalie Belizaire, featured in this article - yay!

They joined thousands of marchers in Selma and Montgomery for the day of protest.
