To Claim a Life of Joy and Justice

February 11, 2024: Lest we imagine that claiming joy, investing in equity, and fortifying justice are someone else’s journeys, we’ll pick up and follow some of the threads woven through last Sunday’s service, maybe even leading to the center of our own hearts. Come, consider ways to nurture our own particular blends of presence, peace, and resilience, as we bring our unique voices to the choir that longs for a world more compassionate, sustainable, and just.  […]

Joy Unspeakable

February 4, 2024: JOY! Yes, joy… perhaps not where you would expect us to begin this month’s theme Exploring the Gifts of Justice and Equity. Join us this Sunday as we weave together a service of music, poetry and prose that invites us to glimpse how “joy unspeakable” has sustained Black people in America through suffering and survival. Therein lies an invitation to contemplate how Unitarian Universalist joy allows us to fulfill our mission to create a world more compassionate, sustainable and just. […]

Masking Tapes: The You Beneath What You Do

January 28, 2024: Also available as a podcast on our YouTube channel!
This next in Rev. Kevin’s series of Enneagram-rooted services invites us to explore the 3-ness in each of us, and the tendency to base our value in what we do or how we appear.

Failing Forward: Shining with Integrity

January 14, 2024: Also available as a podcast on our YouTube channel!
The One-ness in us, according to Enneagram wisdom, latches on to our desire to be good, to live up to high ethical standards, and to influence the world around us for the better. It’s a lot to take on. This Sunday, still in the season of New Years resolutions, can we loosen our grip on our resolutions, and find a liberating way to hang on to the intuitive urges beneath our resolve? […]

The Christmas Story

Faith in Mystery

December 17, 2023: Often, faith is not something we as Unitarian Universalists recognize as part of our religious experience. This Sunday, we’ll ask each other about our relationships to faith—times that we put our trust in the mysterious and unprovable—and explore what faith can feel and look like for us. […]

Singing the Mystery: A Singing Meditation

December 10, 2023: Our annual December meditation service once again takes the form of a singing meditation circle – singing into silence into singing into silence, in a deepening rhythm. Whether you choose to sing, or hum, or let the sound wash over you, come enter the mystery and magic of the moment. Take a breath before the holiday rush takes hold.  […]

Each Known. Each a Mystery

December 3, 2023: None of us is ever completely known by another person, and some aspects of our selves will remain a mystery, even to those who love us dearly. But the willingness to know each other meaningfully, and to be known meaningfully, is key to embodying Beloved Community together and to finding ourselves at home in the world. This Sunday, we settle into the mystery and we reach for a bit of the knowing, welcoming UUCM’s newest members in the process.  […]
