Here’s what’s new on our website since last Sunday:
Home Page
The worship service next Sunday, Sept. 21, is featured at the upper right of the home page. Our visiting research partner minister, Rev. Jordinn Nelson Long, will preach on “Mapping Survival,” grounding us in our shared work of mapping our interdependence. Questions she will explore include: What does it mean to be place-rooted, as a human in a body? What does it mean to be place-rooted as a church in wider community with a city? Are we all, as UUs, called to be geographers and theologians?

Home Page
The worship service next Sunday, Sept. 14, is featured at the upper right of the home page. Join us as new Intern Minister Monica Clark-Robinson delivers the first sermon of her time with us, “Collective Flourishing: Lessons from the Three Sisters.” The practice of “companion planting,” which has been practiced by Native gardeners for thousands of years, has wisdom for all of us. How do we hold each other, nurture each other, lean on each other, so that we may all not only survive, but thrive?
