Rev. Michelle Buhite - Universalism’s message of universal salvation, where all souls are ultimately restored to God, may need a new marketing message in the 21st century. Rev. Michelle is the minister of the UU Church of Amherst, a suburb of Buffalo, NY. She and Rev. Bruce Beisner met in seminary and became fast friends. In addition to church life, Rev. Michelle's newest venture is as "Mimi" to twin granddaughters.

Rev. Dan King - We are all confronted with the reality that the current trend lines for human exploitation of Earth's resources cannot be sustained. It is literally a matter of life and death for millions of species, as well as human society itself. "So what?" In the face of this threatened apocalypse, Rev Dan King will share a message of hope from several unlikely sources. Dan is a recently certified Climate Reality Project Leader and Mentor. He formerly served as Assistant Minister at First UU Church in Houston before his retirement in 2019.

Rev. Bruce Beisner - The Buddha taught that looking inward and becoming at peace with the thoughts and desires of our minds is the key to living a harmonious and compassionate life. How can time apart from others be used to cultivate this greater awareness? How does a religious community like BAUUC encourage us to better know who we are and who we can be?

Rev. Bruce Beisner - Our BAUUC congregation has committed to taking major steps to address the climate crisis and our members and leaders are working on innovative and effective ways to reduce our carbon footprint. As Earth Day 2021 approaches, Rev. Bruce Beisner will reflect on the deeply held religious values that form the foundation of these endeavors. Our service on April 18 will include wonderful music from our BAUUC Choir.

Rev. Bruce Beisner - As religious people, we embrace evolution and know that our beliefs will grow and change over time. But some changes are unexpected. Some feel welcome and others not so much. Some changes come too soon, while others take too long. As the spring season sets in, vaccinations become more available and the cycles of life move forward, we will explore our personal, emotional and spiritual responses to change.

On Easter Sunday, your BAUUC community is planning to hold our first in-person services in over a year. We hope you will join us outside on the front lawn of the church for this extra special event with music, stories, readings and more.

Our service on March 28 will be presented LIVE on Zoom. Join us for wonderful music, your favorite UU rituals, a time to honor those in our hearts, and an inspirational message from Rev. Bruce Beisner about the history and meaning of Passover. The link to this LIVE online service will be shared by email to all church members and friends.

Rev. Bruce Beisner shares a message about Unitarian Universalist understandings of miracles.

Guest Speaker Dr. Alok Kalia-- Every Sunday we gather to restate our beliefs, reaffirm our covenant and, of course, to worship. But who or what do we worship? The bedrock of most religions is a unified belief in the divine, whoever or whatever their divine might be. We don't do that. Our vision of the holy is different from that of most other faiths. What is it that holds us together? Alok is a a retired professor from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. He is a professional speaker and a long-time member of the congregation at the Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Church.

As we approach the one year anniversary of moving to online services because of the pandemic and begin our annual Stewardship drive, we will reflect on some of the many many ways our church community has remained resilient, relevant and connected amid changes, hardships and challenges. And we'll imagine what life might look like a year from now.
