October 19 - Cultivating Compassion - Rev. Manning

Third Sundays this year will take on an adventurous format with diverse content and a multitude of participants! Join us this Sunday as we explore the theme, “Cultivating Compassion.”

October 26 - Hungry Ghosts - Rev. Manning

In honor of Día de los Muertos please bring images or symbols of your deceased loved ones to place on our altar. Abundant time will be given to share what is in our hearts and minds. As time permits, we will explore how we can grieve yet not succumb to overwhelm and despair, and how we can cultivate achievable practices in our daily lives that strengthen and equip us to face life’s challenges.

WELCOME!

We are a welcoming and inclusive community of faith. We are home to the spiritual-but-not-religious, to the religiously unaffiliated, to current and former members of other faith traditions, and to life-long UUs. We believe in the divinity of the human spirit.

Our faith is rooted in The Seven UU Principles.
