April 12 service:
Easter and Passover
for Unitarian Universalists 

Video Sermon by Beth Miller
The Jewish and Christian high holy days of springtime have always been intertwined and harken back to Pagan celebrations predating them both.  The universal human themes of being spared in a time of tragedy and the promise of new life resonate as we continue to live with the uncertainty of the pandemic .

April 5 service:
Covid-19 and
The Sacred Hoop 

Video Sermon by Budd Friend-Jones
Worldwide yet deeply personal, the devastation wrought by Coronavirus is historic. The sum of our losses is unimaginable. In this online worship we will look to science and the world's faith traditions to get a perspective on what is happening to us. This moment asks us to make a significant "course correction" in our spiritual orientation. Covid 19 comes as both Destroyer and Teacher. If we are attentive, we will gain insight into who we really are and how we may thrive.
