A Tribute to UU Troubadours: Celebrating the Seeger Centennial.

Join us for a lively, uplifting tribute to Unitarian Universalist troubadours—singer/songwriters who help make the essence of our liberal religious faith more accessible to all and who call us to greater heights of spiritual awakening, compassion and social action. Our annual recognition of their talents and contributions is especially timely this year, as May 3, 2019 marks the centennial of the birth of Pete Seeger who was, arguably, the most notable and influential UU troubadour of the past several generations. Expect reflection on how and why their lives and music nourish and inspire us and, of course, expect lots of singing!

Our Transforming Climate

Unitarian Universalism can help us with this change, if we dig deep into our tradition and engage in everyday spiritual practices. Join us for this exploration of the power of a faith-rooted response to the challenge of climate change.

Take Care

In much of human thought is the idea that our purpose is more than to use and use up the resources of our world and Universe for our own survival and amusement, but that we have a responsibility to the memory of our ancestors and to our progeny to be stewards.
