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: Paying Attention

Mar 1

Tricksters, Mischief-Makers, and Bringing Good Trouble.

Rev. Kristina Spaude  

The Berry Street Essay of 2025 was offered by the Rev. Leela Sinha, titled "Tricksters and Tyrannies." This morning we'll consider some of Rev. Sinha's wisdom about paying attention to subversive stories and building equitable and generous communities. 

Mar 8

Cracking Up.

Liz James  

 What do you do when the life you’d imagined for yourself is stuck in committee? Join us for the story of the UU Hysterical Society… The practical joke that accidentally turned into a three hundred thousand person UU community on Facebook.  It’s a story of feeling lost, finding yourself, and UUism-outside-the-box with UUHS founder Liz James.

Liz James is the founder of an online UU community called the Unitarian Universalist Hysterical Society (UUHS); half of The Cracked Cup podcast; and is working on a book with Skinner House Press.  

Mar 15

Paying Attention

Rev. Kristina Spaude  

 The spiritual theme we're considering this month is "Paying Attention." We'll explore this theme weaving silence, reflection, and lectio divina elements in the service.

Mar 22:

Memories Fade; Belonging Shouldn’t

TriUU member Frank Kelly  

Around 11% of adults over 65 have dementia, and for those over 75 it’s 14%. But through myths and misconceptions, they are often marginalized, withdrawing from or shunned by society. But music can provide a long-lasting link. Melodies in Mind is a dementia-friendly chorus that does just that, letting these singers share their joy of connection and fellowship through their voices, in song. Memories may fade, but belonging should not.

 

Mar 29

The Gift of Hospitality 

Rev. Kristina Spaude  

With Passover beginning this week, we will consider lessons and practices, both contemporary and ancient, about being hospitable to each other and our neighbors.

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.
