Our Spiritual Theme for September is Building Belonging.
Sunday, September 21, 2025:
“Harm Reduction” with Rev. Sara Lewis
Our Unitarian Universalist tradition affirms that all are worthy now, which is counter cultural in a society soaked in the Christian cultural urge to punish sin. How can we reduce harm without punishment? What do all deserve if we are worthy now?
After-Service Forum: Skill Builder — How to Create a Covenant, with Rev. Sara
Sunday, September 28, 2025:
“Belonging to the UUUniverse” with Rev. Nancy Reid-McKee
We value church for the connections we make and the meaning we find together. It is also important to be connected with the Unitarian Universalist Universe because together we can do more than we can when acting alone. We will explore how we belong to the larger faith tradition.
After-Service Forum: Introduction to the UUA Congregational Study Action Issue for 2025-26, with Rev. Sara

Sunday, October 12, 2025:
“Cultivating Compassion” with Rev. Mary Gear
We explore our monthly spiritual theme of Cultivating Compassion. As a people of faith, we use this word a lot, yet we may not have a shared understanding of its meaning and practice. What does cultivating compassion look like at this moment in history?
After-Service Forum with Faith in Action guest speaker on “Zero Waste and WRAP Act”
Sunday, October 19, 2025:
“Same and Different” with Rev. Mary Gear

After-Service Forum: Skill Builder with Rev. Sara
Sunday, October 26, 2025:
“The Wild in Us” with Rev. Mary Gear
This Halloween season, we explore why we want to stay connected to the wild. What does it mean that we humans are part of the animal kingdom? How does that affect our being in the world and our spirituality?
