A Message from the Margins will be a call to listen more deeply into the voices, stories, and truths that often go unheard. In this message, we’ll explore the spiritual and social realities of “the margins”, those spaces where people are pushed, silenced, or overlooked. We will consider who draws these margins, and why do some stay there generation after generation? Those who control the margins often control the narrative. This is a message about reclaiming voice, restoring dignity, and realizing that justice doesn’t flow from the center, but from the edge.

Our annual Service of the Living Tradition honors members and leaders. Together we'll share the story of this past year and celebrate UUCF's thriving community. 

So much of our rhetoric around the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth revolves around “correct belief” or orthodoxy, but perhaps we should be talking about orthopraxy, or “correct praxis.” How we live out the resurrection is so much more important than what we believe about resurrection. During this service, we will explore how to be a “resurrection people,” who boldly proclaim that another way is possible. We don’t have to live in fear and be led through violence and coercion. We can be the people, guided by Love and cooperation, who commit to building a better world here and now.
