What to Expect

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.

Spiritual theme:  Cultivating Compassion.

 

Oct 5:

Strong Like Water

Rev. Kristina Spaude

We have all experienced trauma. Many of us are still grappling with it, along with other challenging circumstances in our individual and collective lives. This morning we will celebrate our annual Ingathering and Water Communion service by considering what lessons we can learn from water. If you have water to bring, you're welcome to, but water will be provided during the service.

Oct 12:

A Free and Responsible Search for Truth and Meaning

Rev. Kristina Spaude

Drawing lessons about the importance of freedom of the press from journalists Maria Ressa and Masha Gessen, we'll explore what it means to search for truth and meaning at a time when journalists and news media are demonized. 

 

Oct 19:

Lost, Found, and now I'm Woke.

Rev. Kathy Schmitz 

The popular hymn, "Amazing Grace," speaks of the gift of greater understanding that comes with a wider perspective. What might that look like in our world today? 

 

Oct 26:

Myths and Monsters

Rev. Kristina Spaude 

Myths and monsters are two categories of stories that regularly draw Rev. Kristina's attention. Today we'll explore what we can learn about ourselves and the world by engaging some of these narratives, and what they can teach us about compassion.

Service Inspirations

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.
