In recognition of National Coming Out Day (Oct 11th) and Spencer Pride (Oct 4th), this service is dedicated to the history and present of LGBTQIA organizing and human rights.

A Celebration of Life Gathering for Paul Arnold will be held on Saturday, October 4, at 11 a.m. in Fellowship Hall.

Join us as we welcome the Rev. Mary Katherine Morn, President and LEO of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee – our UU International Human Rights Organization. UUSC works to advance human rights with an international community of grassroots partners and advocates. They work on issues of defending human rights at risk due to criminalization and systemic oppression of people based on their identity. They support self-determination and defend the rights of people displaced due to climate, conflict or economic hardships; and they respond to humanitarian crises as partners with people whose access to aid is most limited.

Please join us for a quiet service reflecting on this time of balance between light and darkness as our season shifts.

How do we create a culture of welcome in our community and in our own lives?

This service will be held twice, at 9:30 and 11:30, beginning the fall two services schedule!

Rev. Forrest Gilmore is UUCB’s Affiliated Community Minister. He served congregations for ten years as a parish minister and now is the Executive Director of Beacon, Inc, a local nonprofit dedicated to people experiencing extreme poverty.

Everyone is invited to bring water from a place that is meaningful to them in their life to share in this service. We remember that these gifts of water are reflective of who we are, of our connection and dependence on water for life. In the service as we pour our waters together, we remember how the sharing of our lives in community creates depth and meaning.
Church Picnic in Fellowship Hall and the playground following the service. All are welcome!

In times like these, when we are called more and more to live out our values in public places, what becomes of our own needs? In other words, in times like these, what's a congregation for?

What is the world we imagine for ourselves and our children? Naming it is part of creating it.

A Celebration of Life for Jessie Cook will be held on Saturday, August 23, at 2 p.m. in the Meeting Room. A reception will follow in Fellowship Hall.
