Upcoming Services

Unitarian Universalist services are similar to most other churches. There are readings and hymns, often live instrumental or choral music. There is a time for people to share significant events in their lives. There is usually a story for children early in the service, before they leave the sanctuary for their classes downstairs. Unless otherwise noted all services and children's religious education programs occur on Sunday at 10:30am. Child care is available.

You are welcome here, to visit and to explore with us. At the end of most services, we hold an open discussion with the speaker. Then we break for coffee and more conversation. We look forward to meeting you and invite you to help us shape our liberal religious community.

In the last 30 years, political and religious conservatives have united to form a potent political fundamentalism. This allegiance has resulted in conservatives being in command of American politics, holding the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court. The rise of political conservatives is due to their coordinated, long-term campaign to merge ideology, strategic public rhetoric, and calculated usage of mass media. This talk
will examine this shift, and discuss some steps that progressives might take.

26 February
Reverend Amanda Aikman
A Culture of Punishment
Why are we as a culture so obsessed with crime, punishment, pain and revenge? The Drama Team will enact a friend’s writings from prison.
