Embracing Love That Transcends Tolerance is a heartfelt and courageous talk that challenges audiences to move beyond passive acceptance and into visible, active love. Through personal story, spiritual reflection, and practical insight, Deedee Lloyd invites communities to embrace compassion, justice, and solidarity with transgender people and their families. This speech calls listeners to ask not merely what they believe, but what love requires of them now.

Our annual Earth Day Service connects us with the earth and those with whom we share the planet. Come listen to Geno Gresham, a representative of Greening of Detroit, share about the work they do to "enhance the quality of life for Detroiters by planting trees, repurposing the land to create beautiful and productive green spaces and helping communities rebuild their neighborhoods one lot at a time." 

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.

Join us this Sunday as we explore identity and all the ways we are continuously “becoming” throughout our lives. Through stories and music we will ponder what it means to discover who we are, what it feels like to belong, and how we encourage growth within a beloved community. 

At a time when the word "trans" is being removed from public places, we at UUCF are working to become ever more visible in our support for trans and nonbinary people. This multicongregational Service with Northwest UU and 1st UU Detroit will expand our awareness and affirm our commitment to justice and safety for trans people. 

The first line of UUCF's mission statement is "We Seek Answers Everywhere." If we truly live that statement, where are we seeking and how do we determine the answers we follow? Our UU faith is pluralistic, meaning we draw inspiration from many faith traditions. But in our search for meaning, what does it mean to seek and live answers? You are invited to come and explore these questions together. 

Did you know that March 15 is national "Everything You Think is Wrong Day"? No? Neither did we but we're practicing being open to the possibility that we were wrong about our previous ideas. This multigen Sunday Service will have opportunities to explore times when we realized we were wrong about something or someone. Practicing having a growth mindset helps us open our heart to transformation. Come, learn in community. 

This Service Sunday, we will work together to pack whistle kits for distribution to our immigrant neighbors.

Join us this Sunday as we launch our annual stewardship campaign: 'Weaving Our Future Together.' In this Sunday Service, we’ll explore the unique threads each of us contributes to the vibrant tapestry of our beloved community.  Please stay for a complimentary lunch following the Service!

Loss and grief touch our lives in myriad ways, yet many of us feel unsure how to respond when they show up in our communities. This sermon reflects on what it means to be a grief-literate community and invites us to grow our capacity to accompany one another through loss with honesty, humility, and love.
