"Yes, And"
The first rule of improv - “yes, and” - requires comedians to accept what others put forward and build on it through their own contributions.
We’ll explore how this simple principle can create space for the dualities of life, leading to stronger relationships and deeper personal understanding.

Help Us with a Monthly Food & Supply Drive for our Navajo Nation Community
We are looking to take food, household items and medical supplies directly to those in need in the Navajo Nation--the third largest COVID-19 hotspot in the country. Our congregant, Ceyshe Napa has family members in the Navajo Nation who have died, are currently sick and are recovering from COVID-19. For a community that is already challenged with lack of water, easy access to reasonably-priced food and financial means, the pandemic has taken a devastating toll. We will be collecting food and supplies and taking them up north to Ceyshe’s family (via a safe transfer point) so they can distribute it to their network of family and community members. We will do this until the urgency passes.
Please use this form to let us know if/how you would be willing to be involved in this.

There are so many transitions in our life during these times, but we are particularly moved by our graduates, who didn't get to have their proms, graduations or family celebrations. We'll be celebrating our special graduates (of all kinds) and sharing wisdom from them, to them and surrounding them with love.

How do UU Worship:
Since online worship is still new to us and those of us leading worship can’t see what you’re doing, would you be willing to answer six quick questions about how you worship online with us? It should take you about 30 seconds. Thank you.
