July 19, 2026: All Ages Service - Singing the Beloved Community Into Being

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Singing together is our birthright and a joy-filed, joy-fueled way to cultivate the necessary qualities of the Beloved Community.

July 26, 2026: To Stand in Awe

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Father Greg Boyle tells us, "Here is what we seek: a compassion that can stand in awe at what the poor have to carry rather than stand in judgement at how they carry it." People experiencing homelessness are some of the most vulnerable people in our society yet frequently are judged, blamed, and even attacked for things they have little to no control over. Today we will explore themes of judgement, fear, and even disgust and how we can turn those feelings into compassion.

Upcoming Events

  • DJ William's Soul Kitchen Concert - Fellowship Hall/Courtyard

    Saturday, July 18, 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM
    Saturday, July 18, from 6 - 10 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington Courtyard with a performance by DJ William’s Soul Kitchen. The goal of the event will be fundraising to protect occupied essential housing, support local business, and Save Seminary Pointe!  The afternoon and evening will make space for task forces like Homelessness, Democracy, and Habitat for Humanity to table alongside community organizations such as Beacon Inc., Tandem, and other community partners.

    In everything we do, it’s good to keep in mind that we’re not forcing our own creed onto the world but rather drawing the circle wide to co-create what world we want to see. If you’d like to learn more, visit the website for the BH4A or contact me at michalja@mail.gvsu.edu.
