The National Bail Out collective coordinates the Mama’s Day Bail Outs, where they bail out as many Black Mamas and caregivers as they can so Mother’s Day can be spent with their families where they belong! The National Bail Out collective provides fellowship and employment opportunities for those bailed out to support their growth and create a national community of leaders who have experienced incarceration. They also work with groups across the country to support ongoing bail reform efforts and create resources for organizers and advocates interested in ending pretrial detention.

Universalism has a long history of not only adapting to change but being on the cutting edge of challenging the status quo. We are proud of our ancestors and how they challenged us to keep growing. What would it look like to celebrate transformation as a core value of our faith? Together with our youngest congregants, we will explore how we change individually and how we respond to change in our world.

Our Universalist ancestors believed in a God who loves everyone. Today our UU beliefs take this original idea to mean that WE love everyone. What does that mean in the context of Justice?

Rev. JM Richardson will join us this morning for an engaging service, brining their ‘street theology’ approach to approaching justice, equity and inclusion, making spirituality accessible and relevant in everyday life. Their lifelong dedication to navigating the complex intersectionality of faith, race, and LGBTQ affirmation has established them as a respected public figure and a beacon of progressive change within the church community.

The values we are exploring in February are Justice and Equity. Through interactive play, meditation, and music this multigen service will help us learn about inclusion and what it means to live our values.

Let’s celebrate Global Belly Laugh Day! Laughter is a spiritual practice that can help us stay present and open to possibilities. Come, enjoy laughter and joy in community.

UU is a liberal faith that seeks to offer a radical welcome to all who enter. What a poetic idea, but what does that mean? Radical welcome is more than opening the doors, it’s a way of relating that affirms what it means to be UU. Let’s explore and imagine how radical welcome can be a part of the 2024 congregational journey.

In this service, guest speaker Amy G. S. A. Brooks, will reflect on what it means to love in the context of congregational life.

In the first Sunday Service of 2024 we will celebrate our Universalist heritage of love for all people, including ourselves. At this multigen service we will create intentions of love for our community and let go of what no longer serves us.
