Past Morning Services

We will discuss how valuable water is to every living thing on this planet and how this precious resource is limited. As our population increases, the demands for our natural resources increase as does our potential for befouling those resources. Ceremoniously, we will together participate in water communion, each bringing a small container of water from a trip we have taken, a place that holds special memories for us or from our own kitchen sink. These, we will blend with water from participants from previous years and store for the water communions in following years.  

What would it mean to us if we discover life on another planet? Does the immense likelihood that the universe is teeming with life and that some of that life is likely intelligent make any difference to us earthlings?  

Join us on Sunday, August 30 for a special fifth Sunday service led by our Social Justice Team. Together we’ll reflect on the UU commitment to equality, justice, and civic engagement through worship, music, and shared conversation. During the service, we’ll participate in the UU the Vote program by writing nonpartisan postcards encouraging voter participation. Postcards, pens, scripts, and stamps will all be provided, making it easy for everyone to take part. After the service, all are invited to stay for a postcard party as we continue writing together in community. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful opportunity to put our values into action.

Every day we're surrounded by an endless stream of headlines, opinions, advertisements, algorithms, and certainty. How do we separate signal from noise? This lighthearted discourse explores the value of discernment, the importance of asking good questions, and the humility to challenge our own assumptions. Curiosity and careful inquiry can help us navigate an increasingly noisy world while continuing our search for truth and meaning. The Morning Program

In this discourse I will explore how we might work together to end the world as we know it in order to create the world as it should be. The Morning Program

Scientists have identified nine planetary boundaries that we should not cross if we are to experience a sustainable future. Currently. we are surpassing seven of the nine boundaries, and returning within the boundaries will be much more challenging than it would have been never to surpass them. The Morning Program

Simone Weil once wrote that “attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Join us for a service on the transformative gift of offering our attention to others. Led by Rev. Eric Severson. The Morning Program

Among the many ethical concerns related to AI is the detrimental environmental impact owing to the water and energy use of new AI Data centers, and much of this environmental impact will be felt most acutely by the most vulnerable among us.   Morning Program
