Site Updates

Feb. 1, 2025

Here’s what new on our website since last Sunday:

Home Page

The worship service next Sunday, Feb. 8, is featured at the upper right of the home page. Join our visiting research minister, Rev. Jordinn Nelson Long, as she returns to our congregation to spend this winter season learning with us. She writes, “As a social science researcher who is also a UU minister, I spend a lot of time explaining what church is and what it can be. I will confess, though, that the edges of what is known, for sure, definitely, about who we are together are closer than I thought. This means that I spend a lot of time thinking also about who and what we might be. What is church in 2026, as so much of what we have institutionally known falls away? Where is the magic, and what are the dangers?”
