Our Spiritual Theme for January is Practicing Resistance.

Sunday, February 1, 2026:
“Moving on from Walden Pond” with Rev. Sara Lewis

Many of us have found inspiration from the teachings of Henry David Thoreau and other Transcendentalists, but how does this sort of individualism answer the needs of today? How can we move on from Walden Pond and toward a radical mutuality that still retains what was good at Walden Pond?

After-Service Forum: Skillbuilder- How to respond to hard things with Rev. Mary Gear & Rev. Sara Lewis
Hard things happen in the world and in our lives. How can we respond in ways that are helpful and not adding to the harm? Join Rev Mary and Rev Sara for this skillbuilder which will explore ways we can care for ourselves and do the healing work we need to do in order to become helpers and healers ourselves.

Sunday, February 8, 2026:
“The Transformative Power of Grief” with Linnea Gullikson & Rev. Mary Gear

We all carry grief and our culture encourages us to just move on, ignoring or denying what we are mourning. Today we explore the power of transformation and resilience that grief can offer.

After-Service Forum: Faith in Action with Nancy Reid McKee


Sunday, February 15, 2026:
“Congregational Resilience” with Rev. Mary Gear

Today we explore the spiritual theme of “Embodying Resilience” by reflecting on congregational life and how we are together.

Sharing from the Heart

Do you have something that you’d like to share with the congregation during our Sharing from the Heart ritual? This might be an event in your life or a transition of some kind. If so, please email Minister@ouuc.org by 8:00 p.m. Saturday evening for inclusion in the Sunday service. If received after that, we will share it the next Sunday.
