October 4, 2026: Balancing Pride and Humility

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray

With a weekend full of celebration – Lotus Festival, Spencer Pride, Resilience Productions – we celebrate pride in our community, LGBTQ+ pride, pride in history and diversity, and the work for justice we do today. And we recognize how humility is not separate from pride. Together, in balance, they are a strength.

Musical guest: Sarah Dan Jones. Sarah Dan, the composer of the beloved UU song “Meditation on Breathing” is the Director of Music Ministries at the Starr King UU Fellowship in Plymouth, NH.
