Which Should Be First - Peace or Justice?
Someone argued with me that without justice there could be no peace. I replied that without peace there could be no justice. After further reflection, I realized that without a certain paramount condition, there can be neither real peace nor real justice. So, just what is that condition?

The Iowa Sisters, Their Lives and Legacy
This Sunday let us revive an important chapter of our Unitarian Universalist history by honoring the memory of the liberal pioneer women, who came to be known as the Iowa Sisters. Let us learn what legacy we enjoy today thanks to the vision and courage of these Unitarian ministers, who intensely labored and sacrificed to bring our precious faith to the frontier during the period 1880 and 1930.

Colorwise
Race is a myth, a fabrication, yet it wields tremendous power. How do we honor our individual uniqueness, our common humanity, and the lived experience of racism while building the Beloved Community?

Many Beliefs, One Spirit
Unitarian Universalists enjoy astonishing theological diversity. We range from theists to atheists, from Christians to Pagans, from Buddhists to seekers of every description. Some feel a deep need for God. Others don’t want to hear about God. How do we worship together and learn from one another?

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service - “O, Silent Night; O, Night of Dreams”
This is a beautiful multicultural service of candlelight, singing, and celebration for all ages. Please bring children, friends, visiting family members, and neighbors for a memorable, spirit-filled observance of the Christmas tradition.
In the silent, starry night of our hearts, surrounded by candle light and seasonal music, let us dream dreams of peace; of pure, selfless love; of unimaginable generosity; of courageous deeds; of undying hope. This Christmas Eve, let us reflect on what would happen if these dreams were fulfilled in our lives? What effect would this have in the lives of our congregation and of our world?

Winter Solstice Contemplative Service
Needing some quiet in this busy season?
If you are feeling that you need a small respite from the exuberance of the season, we invite you to come to our second annual Winter Solstice Contemplative Service on Wednesday, December 21st at 7:00 pm.
It will be a quiet service of words and music in which we honor both the gifts of darkness and the gifts of light, as we honor the longest night of the year. Bring your places which need healing and holding, as well as the places which reflect the beauty of light in the darkness. All are welcome and you are encouraged to participate by bringing a candle of any kind in a sturdy candle holder (consider using a dripless candle or bring a candlehholder which can catch drips) to be lit as part of the service.

Yule Ritutal
CUUPS (Covenant of UU Pagans) will be celebrating Yule, the Pagan Earth centered festival of light held at the time of the Winter Solstice. Common to almost every world culture, many of our present day traditions come from this ancient spiritual practice. With a Yule log as the center of our circle, we will meditate together, sing Yule songs and share in the joy of the winter season. We will honor the sacred wisdom and strength in all of us to survive and renew our Spirit through each turn of the seasons.
Join us as we remind each other to respect and honor the gifts of Earth and life itself, especially it's material blessings and simple happinesses. After the Circle Ritual, we'll enjoy holiday treats brought by all who participate. All are welcome!
