Many Unitarian Universalists are not exactly “religious” in the way so many religious people use the term. We tend toward a rational and scientific outlook. And yet, ritual and liturgy remain quite important in our communal practice as a congregation. We hope to see you in person! Our COVID policy has been suspended and masking … Continue reading A Life of Ritual and Reason
It is a powerful experience to know yourself and to be known by others. Our new Chalice Circles are a way to form ties with others and to deepen your self-knowledge.

Winston Churchill is credited with the witticism: ‘A Lie Is Halfway Round the World Before the Truth Has Got Its Boots On.’ Ironically, Churchill may not be the originator of that line.

We hope to … Continue reading Let Our Service Begin

The trends are upon us! Attendance and participation in religious communities are declining in the US across the board. This has been going on for a while, but the pandemic increased things. Maybe there are good reasons for not attending that we can learn from. What do people need today that we could offer? Our … Continue reading Church: Why Bother?
I don’t mean it like that. Yes, we are ‘progressive’, but for this service I’m actually thinking about ‘progressive dinners,’ (and I didn’t want you all to think I was offering food.) Join us for a playful and thought-provoking service throughout the building and grounds (we’ll start in the sanctuary.) Our Summer Services (July 2 … Continue reading Progressive Religion
