]]> For many Unitarian Universalists, the experience of walking into a UU church felt like a profound homecoming. When Rev. Bonnie first joined up, she wondered why there weren’t UU churches bursting with diversity on every corner, given our welcoming and inclusive approach to congregational life. Join us today as Rev. Bonnie and Laura Kamper consider the way our particular history impacts the culture of our communities and may unintentionally limit who feels welcome.

]]> Rev. John just celebrated another birthday and is at work on yet another book! This one is called Something Left Over: A Memoir of Ministry. It contains not only some delightful tales of how he found joy in ministry, but also this piece of wisdom: “Everyone is capable of leadership – or ministry. Leadership is nothing more than having something left over after taking care of yourself, to care for others, and for the causes and Beloved Community we all long for.”

Please join us on Mother’s Day as we delve further into May’s theme of Creativity.

Being a mother, or mothering in general – i.e. simply engaging in the act of creating and/or nurturing another living being – provides absolutely endless opportunities for creativity, whether we want those opportunities or not.

In this morning’s message we will explore the fundamental and essential improv comedy technique of “Yes, and…”. This is a method that puts acceptance and collaboration, progress and ideas front and center within any relationship.

After this service we hope you too will embrace the benefits of this dynamic skill and discover the ways in which it can enhance your parenting experience, nurture your relationships, help you bloom where you are planted – and beyond!

For an online stream of the service, click here after 10:20 a.m.
