Unitarian Universalist services are similar to most other churches. There are readings and hymns, often live instrumental or choral music. There is a time for people to share significant events in their lives. There is often a story for children early in the service, before they leave the sanctuary for Religious Education in the chapel. You are welcome to visit and to explore with us. Wear whatever makes you comfortable!

Haiti: Where to Start? Haiti was the first black-led republic in the world, but since has had a long-troubled history. Interference by other countries, now battered by natural disasters – as resilient as the Haitians are, the situation often seems hopeless. Through the reconstruction of homes, Habitat for Humanity is working to establish one toe-hold of recovery. Town Hall meeting after the service. |

Love is a Higher Call What do you do when a co-worker, a friend, or a family member says something hateful? In these awkward situations it is tempting to walk away, but is that the best way to express your Unitarian Universalist values? What can you do when compassion is the hardest path? |

Black Fire, White Fire The Torah was written black fire on white fire. Which speaks more powerfully, the black, rationalistic letters or the white, mystical spaces between them? Generations later, Negro spirituals were written on the black keys: do-re-mi on the white. Where is the power? |

When Money is Moral The Occupy Movement revived 40 years of focus on socially responsible investing. All investors feel good about their gains, and usually track their financial dividends a lot closer than the social performance of their investments. Even charitable “investments” receive scant evaluation leading Chinua Achebe to write, “charity is the opium of the privileged.” So what’s an ethically-oriented person to do?!? On what basis does one decide when capital has been ethically deployed? How can the value we attach to money ever be considered moral? |
