Sunday Service: Love and Liberation - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - In times of outrageous and dangerous politics, it is all too easy to harden our hearts. But our true power lies in committing ourselves to love and open-heartedness. Grounding ourselves in love and care, knowing our interdependence, and committing ourselves to transformation - these build a path to Beloved Community.

Sunday Service: A Place at the Harvest Table: A Celebration of Belonging - Guest Speaker: Joss Bergeron Bisbano - “Where is your place at the Harvest Table? What feeds your spiritual hunger? How do you experience Belonging in a community? Why do you return throughout the seasons of your life? We will celebrate that which we offer, that which we need, and everything we share.” Joss Bergeron Bisbano (They/Them) is a queer, Indigenous CHamoru, eclectic Wiccan Priestess, Interfaith Minister (ULC) and Chaplain whose current work centers on reindigenization and decolonizing safe sacred spaces, and training folks to reclaim their own sacred space. Joss is a classically trained cellist, punk cabaret geek, and double certified life coach. Their favorite text message ever sent goes, “Time for me to leave on the motorcycle now before I’m late to Improv Class at the church.”

Sunday Service: The Living Waters Flow - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Waters cycle through clouds and rain, rivers and seas. All around us, waters are in motion. As we gather together for a water communion and a new church year, bring waters that reflect the cycles of your life. We will join them together, as we join together our lives and gifts, affirming our place in the interdependent web of life.

Sunday Service: Finding Our Way - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Worship is a spiritual practice performed in community. Even over distances of time and space there is a joining together for a time in order to anchor us and reorient us as interdependent and woven together. With various beliefs and commitments we come together to find direction and remember our place in the web of life.

Sunday Service: Naming and Claiming—and Reclaiming - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Our state government is injecting more and more religion into secular spaces, especially public schools. We must name and claim our distinctively Unitarian Universalist stances, not to put them also into classrooms, but to ensure that we are able to be agile and forceful in response. This Sunday we’ll discuss the UU stance on sacred texts and what that means for engaging with Jewish and Christian scripture.

Sunday Service: Animal Blessing - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Bring your beloved animal companions—or a photo of them—for a special Blessing of the Animals. Whether furry, feathered, scaled, or otherwise wonderfully unique, all are welcome! Rev. Katie will offer a blessing as we celebrate the joy, comfort, and companionship our animal friends bring to our lives.
