The start of a new year is a time of great possibility and opportunity to begin again. It’s especially powerful because of the collective sense of intention. This service will examine what it may mean to live with integrity in 2020, to make declarations to ourselves, our community and the world that we feel inspired by and committed to. Join us to explore living with integrity in 2020.
“Do the right thing!” What a great concept. If only life was always so simple. Sometimes it takes great courage and clarity of thought to determine what that right thing is and then to act on it. But with each occurrence self is honored and integrity rooted. Sacha del Bosque and Claudia Barton will share their personal stories of honoring self while each finding ways to navigate life with honesty and integrity
This service will touch upon the diverse aspects of “nature” as it pertains to awe and its affect and effect on us (whether we were looking for it or not). This could occur simply looking at the stars on a crisp dark evening imagining the worlds beyond, watching a whale breach the surface, the chemistry of love developing with another, or contemplating what the nature of what, if anything, may lie beyond the curtains of this world for us.
Albert Einstein said: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” The Christmas story helps us remember the miracle of life and that truly, our every day existence is a miracle. Join us to celebrate Christmas Eve together with carols, community, cookies and candles and a UU interpretation of the Christmas miracle.
As we approach the Winter Solstice, we take this opportunity of the darkest time of year to remember we live in a spectacular, awe-inspiring multi-verse. Today we celebrate the awesome magnificence of our universe and celebrate the sacred gift of being alive.

Our earth is a glorious gift to us. She is designed with perfect resources and systems that help humanity thrive. But what happens when we mistreat her and do not give back to her? What happens when we cease paying attention to the perfection inherent in our seeds and soil, in our water and air? This Sunday we attend to our earth, honoring her for her life-sustaining gifts. Join us for our annual bread ceremony giving gratitude for the abundance of our earth.

“We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos…. our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music…” wrote Albert Einstein. The first thing we hear in life is our mother’s heartbeat, and we join hers with our own. Our hearts beat a foundational rhythm in our lives. From birth to death, we are making and surrounded by sound, rhythm and music. Join us for an experiential journey as we pay attention to the role of rhythm, sound and music in our lives.
