The Birth of Juneteenth - Mattye Reymont - How did Juneteenth begin, and why does it matter today? Guest speaker Mattye Reymont will explore the history of Texas and the events that led to the first Juneteenth, while reflecting on why this celebration holds meaning for all Americans. After the service, join us for coffee and fellowship out side the sanctuary. We'll be celebrating with red velvet cake because no Juneteenth celebration is complete without a slice to share!

All of Who You Are Is Sacred - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - For the first Sunday of June we celebrate Pride with a glitter blessing! All of who you are is sacred. We will bless each other and ourselves, honoring the worth and dignity of all people, not in spite of but because of our multitudes of orientations and genders!

Join us for this special multi-generational worship service highlighting all things Religious Education.

To Proclaim Freedom - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - Our faith has a long legacy of utopian dreamers. Our tradition has a long history of those who fought for justice. The religious imagination goes beyond the political, pointing us to reach for what seems impossible. Even when those dreams fall short, they still accomplish great things. Rev. Katie will share early thoughts on the UUA’s call for us to study abolition, moving beyond mere reform of prisons and policing.

Break Into Music and Song - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - We celebrate the last choir Sunday of the season with extra music and extra joy. Bring your joyous song and your appreciation of beauty, as we consider the many ways music shapes our senses of awe and wonder.

The Divine Contains Multitudes - Rev. Katie McQuage-Loukas - In the Revelations of Divine Love, Julian of Norwich described the nurturing care of Mother Jesus. The God of Genesis broods over the waters like a hen over eggs. The divine wisdom that dwells in the world is often described as feminine – Sophia and the Shekhinah. Love we associate with motherhood shows up in many gendered forms, and for Mothers Day we honor all the ways that nurture shows up – divine and human.
