Services
What to Expect
Each service contains instrumental and vocal music, a 15- to 20-minute message, a joys, sorrows and concerns ritual, an offering, a story relating to the message, and a period of meditation or prayer. The Sunday service begins at 9:00 a.m. and lasts 60 minutes, followed by a period where people may respond to the message of the day.
Each service begins with the lighting of our flaming chalice, a distinctive symbol of UU.
The design originated during WWII as a symbol on documents given to refugees who fled without their identification papers.
NOTE: Participation via Zoom is provided, in-person attendance is a richer experience. Please follow your own counsel on this.

Upcoming Services
February
Spiritual Theme: Justice and Equity.
Feb 2: 9:00 am
Rev. Kristina Spaude
"Threshold: Chaos or Community."
This month we are reflecting on the theme of Justice and Equity, and we'll begin with one of King's final questions for America in 1967 -- will we choose chaos or community? -- a question that resonates strongly again today.

Rev. Kristina Spaude
"Disrupting the Narrative."
Stories are how we make sense of the world, how we understand our histories, ideas, feelings, and experiences. But sometimes we can create dangerous narratives by making complex stories too simple. Join us in this service as we explore how to disrupt our most dangerous narratives.

Special Musical Guests Friction Farm
"Digging Into the Depths of Gratitude."
A practice of gratitude is healthy and often brings focus and empathy. We can deepen our experience of gratitude when we connect the privileges that may be buried underneath each thing we are grateful for. If we can also find ways to hold these truths, along with the gratitude, without guilt or shame, we may begin to see how to extend those privileges to everyone.
Bio: Aidan Quinn and Christine Stay make their way in the world as Friction Farm, an acoustic duo, writing about insects and injustices, weeds and wonder. They tour internationally, have won several song contests and received recognition that seems big in the tiny world of folk music. When not on tour, Aidan enjoys creating things from wood, Christine bakes and gardens, and they are designing a sustainable, energy efficient home.

Rev. Kristina Spaude
"Justice and Equity for Every Body."
With a new administration in the White House and changes in both houses of Congress, and Florida's legislature being what it is, we can expect a challenging year ahead. With restricted individual health care options like abortions, appropriate sexuality education, and other measures, our personal rights are being taken away, making all of us less safe.

Service Inspirations
Our worship services focus on a wide variety of religious, philosophical, personal, and social issues. Although each service is different, we gather weekly to consider, individually and collectively, that which we hold of highest worth. For some, it’s the community; for others, it’s the natural world; and for still for others, it’s a sense of some sort of something beyond our imagination.
Our inspiration comes from a variety of sources: the wisdom of world religions, teachings from humanist and earth-centered traditions, words and deeds of prophetic people, and the direct experience of individuals.
Our principal service is on Sundays at 9:00 a.m., at Tri-County Unitarian Universalist and also on zoom. Please see the Home page for details and links.
We sing traditional hymns, gospel, folk tunes and more, in multi-part harmony. The Choir rehearsals will be set by our new director. Everyone who enjoys singing is encouraged to join!
Here is a growing collection of Tri-UU choir videos:
Most are performed by our former music director, Donna Kagan, and Tri-UU Choir members with music arrangements and editing by Frank Kelly. Enjoy!
