Home Page

The worship service next Sunday, March 1, is featured at the upper right of the home page. Rev. Molly’s sermon will be “The Revolution Will Feed People.” One of the lessons we learn from resistance movements from Minneapolis to Chicago to global freedom struggle movements is the power and necessity of persistent acts of care for neighbors.

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?”
