April 12, 2026: Speaker: Dr. Pat Montley. Topic: "The Hero's Journey." What do we have in common with Harry Potter, Frodo Baggins, Katniss Everdeen, Nemo, Spider-Man, Simba, Luke Skywalker and--OMG!--JESUS?! We are all on the Hero's Journey. With Joseph Campbell as our guide let's have a look this Orthodox Easter Sunday at the Hero's Journey of Jesus and what it could tell us about our own.
Recent Past Services
March 15, 2026: Speaker: Rev. Patricia Haresch. Topic: "Brigid and St. Patrick - Crossover Artists." So many holidays and holy days in March including the month of
Women's History and continuation of Ramadan, the Indian Holi festival,
the Spring Equinox, and St. Patrick's Day. This Sunday Rev. Pat will
fold in Women's History and St. Patrick's Day. We usually talk about
crossover artists in the music biz, like country stars who crossover to
pop charts. However, we don’t often talk about crossover artists in the
religion biz. Rev. Pat will share legends of two early Catholic saints,
their pre-Christian connections, and how they may inform us in our own
efforts to build bridges in the multi-faith, pluralistic world of our
everyday lives.
March 22, 2026: Speaker: SarahRuth Wekoye Davis. Topic: "No Bad Parts: Who is your Captain Hook". We as a society, as an individual, as an organism, are made up of many parts. The psychological concept of Internal Family Systems (IFS), teaches us each of our parts has value. The wisdom found in our UU Sources teaches us similarly, of the sacred Life Force in all, and the value of each person, trait, and role in our Universal community. Who is your Captain Hook? Which part of yourself, your family, your community, are you rejecting, and how do we welcome all of us, in all our parts, into our Family of Love?
March 29, 2026: Speaker: Rev. Mike Franch.
April 5, 2026: Speaker: Rev. Patricia Haresch. Topic: "A Life Affirming Theology for Easter (The Last Wounded Word)." Together we have been exploring "wounded words." Words found in religion that we are uncomfortable with. "Jesus" is the last of the top five words that we will be exploring. (Fitting for the Easter holiday.) What have UUs said about Jesus, what do contemporary scholars say we know about Jesus, and does the Jesus of scripture provide a theology, provide wisdom for us today?

Weekly Walk
We sometimes meet on Tuesdays at noon (the time will be adjusted according to the weather). We will walk for two miles on different sections of the Ma and Pa Trail and other local trails. In the event of bad weather, we will walk at the mall.
The Unitarians were considered heretics, but it was the Universalists Book really caught if from the orthodox. And with good reason: by removing hell from the religious equation they completely upset the dogmatic applecart, taking away the prime motivator for religiously towing the line. With no fear of hell, the orthodox feared chaos. With no fear of hell, the Universalists opened up a whole new world freedom and joy that transformed religion in the West. And we are their ambassadors today.
