Theme: "Housing for All and Housing for Some: A Series of Questions”

Worship Leaders: Environment Committee
Theme: “Food For Thought”
The food we eat nourishes us in many ways. In addition to sustaining our physical health, in our church community we share and get to know each other with food, at coffee hour, at circle dinners, on Monday nights, with communion. This service will pay attention to the food we eat.

Theme: “I Saw Her Twice: ‘Vertigo’ and the Lure of the Past”
On its fiftieth anniversary, we consider one of America’s greatest movies – Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” – and one of its many themes: the seductive and destructive attraction of the past. (“Vertigo” will be shown at Monday Night at the Church on July 21.)

This Sunday’s service is going to the dogs (and cats, and rabbits, and…)! Please join us to honor the spiritual bond that is forged between animals and their humans, and their songs that become indelibly etched on our hearts. Your leashed and vaccinated pets will be enthusiastically welcomed at the service!

Theme: “The New Religion”
Many people come to Unitarian Universalism from other faith paths looking for something new. Unitarian Universalism itself continues to evolve. Millions of people are heralding the coming of a New Age of Spirituality. So, is there a new religion coming? Is the “new” religion already here?
