  Wash Over Me - Water Ceremony

  Aug 26, 202624 min

  In these hot, dry days of summer, we all know what it feels like to long for water. Literally. Metaphorically. Last Sunday, that longing found its home in our annual Water Ceremony, as together we explore and practice the next word in our Reclaimed series….Ritual. Here's your invitation. Find a little water from somewhere that means something to you. A river. A tap. A lake. Bring it with you. For forty-five years, Unitarian Universalists have gathered this way - pouring what we carry into something we all share. All ages. All stages. One community. Come with your longing, as we weave together that deeper belonging. Let’s begin again.

  CHURCH

  Aug 18, 202622 min

  No other word causes us UUS quite the same discomfort as "church". In certain circles, we can stay closeted for years about going to church on Sundays — afraid to claim the word as our own — even while loving the experience of our church. This Sunday, we continue our Reclaimed Series by looking directly at this word, why it stirs up such a strong reaction in so many of us, and whether (or why) it's still worth reclaiming.

  Heads, Hearts, and Hands - Question Box Sunday

  Aug 11, 202648 min

  Last Sunday we experienced Heads, Hearts, & Hands - our annual Question Box Sunday. This is a service where it’s all up to those gathered to bring their honest and direct questions about our thoughts, spirits, and work as Unitarian Universalists, and the ministers answer them on the spot. Question Box always manages to get just the right amount of silly, and at the same time, is a moment to freely bring your hardest stuff. The faith-shaking, assumption-rattling, keep-you-up-at-night questions, knowing our questions and uncertainties aren't problems to solve, but invitations to grow.

  Truth You Can Feel

  Aug 4, 202626 min

  Where do you go to find out whether something is true? Not as in a simple fact you could look up, but the harder kind of truth: whether you're handling this right, whether it meant what you think it meant. Nobody works those things out alone. We never have, and in this sermon Rev. Sean looks at who we've been asking...and yes, we will be talking about ChatGPT!

  You Hypocrites! - July 26, 2026

  Jul 28, 202619 min

  When it comes to religious baggage, I'm not sure there's anything that causes more pain than the realization of longstanding hypocrisy — the awareness that someone's stated beliefs completely contradict their actual behavior. Ironically, railing against hypocrisy was one of the most common threads of Jesus' ministry. If we can't count on someone's beliefs shaping their behavior, then what good are beliefs, anyway? And what does this mean for a faith like ours, where we gather not based on beliefs, but on promises for behavior? Do we get to be exempt from hypocrisy? Or would that just be hypocritical? Join us for a playful Sermon on a serious topic.
