Faith and Doubt

Many UUs when considering our religion might be more comfortable with the word “doubt” rather than “faith” but the two words are inextricably linked. This worship service will explore the connection and the importance of faith and doubt in living a life of hope.

Blue Holiday Service

The Holiday Season can be an especially difficult time for those of us experiencing grief, loss, loneliness or other suffering. This evening service will be an opportunity to share in community our struggles at this time.

Committing to Hope

Living a full, engaged and aware life has its challenges and disappointments. Keeping a feeling of hope can feel naive and unrealistic. What if we viewed hope as a commitment we make for our outlook to life and for our actions?

The Price of Belonging

Feeling we belong to a group seems to be an important part of being fully human. Yet many groups form by at the exclusion of others. Can we be a community of belonging without exclusion?
