"Unitarians Face a New Age" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - This is the 200th anniversary of the founding of the American Unitarian Association! This is the first time Unitarians in the United States formed an institution to build a movement. What did they envision for the future of the moment? What parts of that legacy ring through two hundred years later?

"Religious Education Sunday" - Gloria Miller Our imaginations are much like our children and youth—rich with possibility and seeds of wonder. We water them with curiosity and tend them with community. Together, we nurture visions that grow beyond today. Our children, youth and teachers will lead our worship this Sunday.

"Radical Imagination" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Our imaginations are shaped by the world in which we live, especially by media and culture. How many of us learned about justice and fighting for a better world from fiction? Stories and media allow us to imagine a life far removed from the one we are living, and that imagination can guide us in reshaping our reality.

"Dreams of Peace, Dreams of Justice" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Mothers Day began as a dream of a world run by nurturing and caring hearts, a movement led by wives and mothers after the Civil War. Our world is not so rigidly defined, but the concerns are still similar. We still want a better world for our children, one without violence and war. We long for peace.

"Universal Love, Universal Joy" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - The great Universalist minister Hosea Ballou changed the world when he declared that God’s love was universal. He also said that we had a role to play in God’s unfolding love by growing into the caring hearts and justice-making hands that God had given humankind. We don’t talk about God as much as Ballou did, but his vision of ever-expanding love still moves us today.

"Joy Comes in the Morning" - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - All change is painful, even the transformations for which our hearts long. I imagine the caterpillar dreads the disintegration of becoming a butterfly. The pain of transformation holds within it the hope of joy.
