Reverend Nica Eaton
What Can We Trust?
When the world around us is devolving into chaos, what can we trust? Trusting ourselves can feel impossible when we are overwhelmed by uncertainty, grief, or fear, yet deep within us lies a wisdom that has guided us through every challenge. This service explores how we can cultivate trust, not through control or certainty, but through deep presence, self-compassion, and an openness to life as it unfolds. Grounded in Unitarian Universalist values and the world’s wisdom traditions, we will reflect on how we can trust both ourselves and our community, moving beyond fear into a place of quiet confidence, resilience, and love.
Prelude – “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” by Randy Newman, arr. Mac Huff; Performed by the As One Harmony Chorus under the direction of Katie Phillipson.
