Upcoming services

Rev Melora Lynngood with Worship Associate  Lynne Bonner – This year, Easter and the week of Passover coincide.

As Unitarian Universalists, we draw wisdom from many of the world’s religions, including Judaism and Christianity, from which our own faith tradition descended. 

A story of fleeing from slavery, a story of persecution and resurrection – what inspiration might we draw from these enduring tales of struggle and resilience this year?

Arran Liddel and members of the Environmental Action Team with Worship Associate Shelley Motz – Join us for a multifaceted reflection on how the Earth, Sky, and Sea sustain us and how we can sustain them.

Note: Our ministers have Monday off as well as one weekend per month (as is standard for UU ministers).  This is their April weekend off.  They are back at work on Tuesday, April 16.

Rev. Shana Lynngood with Worship Associate Kressa Sisu – As we begin our exploration of the theme of wholeness we explore both its power and its limitations as a vision of becoming.

On the one hand, wholeness is an image that helps us envision what it might be like to live in such a way that encapsulates the many components of our being.

On the other hand, the concept of wholeness sometimes leaves people struggling with illness or ability challenges feeling less than. How can we honour the possibilities of wholeness without being constrained by it?

Lay Chaplains and Liz Graham with worship associate Morgan Reid – Our congregation’s Lay Chaplains serve members of the larger community by helping them mark important way-stations on their life journeys. 

They are often asked to assist families in recognizing a life that has ended. In this service they will talk about the issues that have arisen from their clients and in their own lives about the way we, as a society, deal with death.

Wendy McNiven with worship associate Oliver Belisle – Child Haven International’s main purpose is to provide the necessities of life to otherwise destitute children, through its eight homes in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Tibet, operating with Gandhian principles. The creation of Bonnie and Fred Cappuccino,  Rev. McNiven tells of her own experience at one Child Have home. 

She will offer reflections about how Child Haven International contributes to the building of strong, caring communities — and what we might learn from it.
