The “Spirit of Life” hymn echoes with the words roots hold me close; wings set me free, reminding us of our faith’s living tradition. Unitarian Universalists treasure the stories and wisdom given by our spiritual ancestors, and we also embrace new learning. We celebrate the diversity that enriches our faith and strive to deepen our understanding through continuous growth and expansion of our wisdom.

A Ceremony with Earth
Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu
Following last week’s conversation about Interdependence, the community is invited to make some promises to the Earth. Rather than rows, you’ll find tables and chair to encourage connection & relationship-building. Zoom Church, Rev. Jen will join you via Chat for this Earth Day Sunday.
- Hymn #203 All Creatures of the Earth and Sky (v. 1 – 3)
- Hymn #15 The Lone Wild Bird
- Hymn #203 All Creatures of the Earth and Sky (v. 4 & 5)
This Sunday’s Collection will go to the UUCE General Fund.
During worship, Room 1 is a space for people who need or prefer less sensory stimulation. Thank you for using this room respectfully and mindfully.
Justice: Faith in Action
Ours is a faith that seeks and does justice. That work is, as the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Parker says, a “striving for what is not yet but could be.”
A church doing justice work differs from the way other organizations or institutions do justice work in its grounding, framing, and motivation. In what guides us as we do the work. In what we return to when threatened by discouragement or violence. If we want to go the distance, then we must have a firm footing to live from, not just morally or intellectually or ethically, but spiritually.
Get involved with Environmental Justice, Economic Justice, Legislative Action, and Racial Justice today!
