Widening the Circle: It's the Principle Rev Pam Rumancik (She/Theirs) There’s a great saying: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I really wish those technology wizards would follow that advice and stop making me relearn new systems every time I turn around when the old technology worked just fine for me. But – maybe it didn’t work fine for somebody else. Unitarian Universalists have 7 principles that we claim to live by. Recently, many of us have awakened to the fact that they don’t work for all of us. An 8th principal has been proposed to try and remedy that situation. How should we respond? What do we need to know? How can our original principles guide us? All vaccinated folks are welcome to join us in person with a mask. The service will also be shared on YouTube. Sunday, December 12, 2021
Buddhism in Unitarian Universalism: Celebrating Bodhi Day Rev Pam Rumancik (She/Theirs) Lenny Edgin While our faith holds many subsets within; Christian, Jewish, Humanist, Atheist, often our most closely observed cousin is Buddhism. As a practice of life without a necessary deity, Buddhism offers a path to a fuller experience of being human without demanding belief in troubling dogma. What gifts can we receive from the Buddha as we celebrate his day of enlightenment? Streaming Services News

Justice workIt is impossible to struggle for civil rights, equal rights for blacks, without including whites. Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air; we all have it or none of us has it. That is the truth of it. ~ Maya Angelou

In addition to the Sunday morning service, members and friends can also gather to study religion and religious history, morality and ethics. They might work to further a cleaner environment or provide help to one another, enjoy one another’s company and just have fun. Like in any organization, church life is enriched the more one participates. The following are some of the committees, events, workshops and programs that help shape this congregation. They are open to anyone interested.

LearnLife becomes religious whenever we make it so: when some new light is seen, when some deeper appreciation is felt, when some larger outlook is gained, when some nobler purpose is formed, when some task is well done. ~ Sophia Lyon Fahs
