It takes spiritual audacity to return again and again to an intention. It takes spiritual audacity to trust than an intention will over time shape your life in a manner befitting your conscience and calling.

I’m Going to Do a New Thing
Our Annual Fire Communion Service invites us into a space of intention. We will determine what we need to release, and what we will incarnate, in the year ahead. This service is all ages and it engages every sense in an exploration of the potentiality of a new year.

The Presence and Absence of Faith
Perhaps in this season of lights more than any other, we remember our commitment as Unitarian Universalism to a pluralism that is bold in its embrace of diverse paths to the divine.

Election
Join us for Worship: “Election” – Dr. Elias Ortega, President of our Unitarian Universalist seminary, Meadville Lombard Theological School will share worship:
Election, as it is known in political terms, is the work of a democracy. Election theologically is something quite different. It is the idea that God predestined some to receive the divine grace of salvation while relegating others to sin and punishment. Our worship service, in the wake of a challenging political election, will inspire hope in the Unitarian and Universalist theologies that, counter to the doctrine of election, see potential, grace, and salvation as inherent for every soul. Glen Rombough, Markus Grae Hauck, Rev Scott, Susie Roan Luna, Laurice Grae Hauck, Brian Crooks, Michael Gilch provide music.
Rev Anya prays and Jill Beckman Gaynes is liturgist.
