Thirty Days of Love. We began this focus on love in January, culminating with a Heart Communion on Sunday, February 13. I am inviting everyone to decorate a heart they can bring to the service, with these emphases in mind:
-What does love mean to you?
-What have you learned about love over the last 30 days?
-How do you put love into action?
I encourage you to work on this project individually or together as families, creating a time of talking about love, learning together, taking action together. Our community will come together in the virtual worship service on Sunday and unite our energy around this basic principle to our identity: love. I look forward to seeing all the creativity and thoughts that we bring to the experience. The virtual worship team will work hard to help you unmute, display your image on camera, and facilitate the experience.

The UUA has also created a complete worship service that you can view, to celebrate the Side with Love Sunday. You can view that service at:

Past Services

Spirituality on the Spectrum

Join Janice Kahrs as she adapts a discussion topic from UUCC’s exploring spirituality group into a sermon about her own diagnosis of Autism and how it colors her perspective on religion and communication.

Bridging Hearts: A Unitarian Odyssey Across Continents

This sermon will explore the profound connection between Transylvanian Unitarians and American Unitarian Universalists, highlighting how, despite geographical distances and diverse cultural backgrounds, they share a common foundation of faith, values, and purpose. Through personal stories, historical contexts, and contemporary examples, we will reflect on how this partnership enriches both communities, fostering mutual support and understanding. Join us as we celebrate the beauty of unity in diversity and the strength found in shared beliefs, reminding us that together, we can illuminate the path toward a more compassionate and inclusive world.

“Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion: The Wisdom of Jonathan Haidt”

Dr. Michael Sullivan will be presenting a creative understanding of why good people are divided by politics and religion. It is based on the work of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt.  Dr. Haidt concludes that “morality binds and blinds”. Using the six foundations of morality derived from his research, we can gain a better understanding of “the righteous mind” that everyone has. This can help bridge political and religious divides and promote greater respect for opposing views.
