What book intrigued, fascinated, enlightened, and/or entertained you in the last year?

Sunday, September 03
"Freedom"
This discussion will focus on the meaning of the term “freedom.” Think of the differing meanings of these phrases: being free from; being free to; being free for; being free at.
Think, too, of the possibilities of one person or group seeking to be free in ways that might dynamically interfere with the freedom of others.
- Kevin Brien, Discussion Leader

Sunday, September 10 — In-Person & Zoom
UUCR Homecoming
"The Courage to Evolve"
Science and spirituality both teach us that there is nothing unchanging in the universe. Even Unitarian Universalism has evolved and continues to do so. Are we prepared to live into the larger love our movement is embodying in this generation? What is the tension between the greater possibilities at hand and the resistance, even hostility, to our progress? On this Ingathering Sunday, we celebrate the power of community to save lives in a hurting world.
- Rev. Paul Boothby, Guest Speaker
- Annie Lavin, Service Leader
- Michael Casey, Musician
Sunday, September 17 — In-Person & Zoom
Water Communion
"Doors Wide Open, Hearts Wide Open"
How might we continually welcome one another and welcome the stranger? How might a vision of radical hospitality guide our coming year together? At this service led by Rev. Sue Browning, we'll reflect on the "gift of welcome" as a foundation in our Unitarian Universalist faith. The service will include our annual Water Communion ritual. All are welcome!
(Keep an eye on the newsletter and website for more details on Water Communion.)
- Rev. Sue Browning, Minister
- Marilee Taussig, Service Leader
- Michael Casey, Musician
