October 11, 2026: Indiana, Land of the Indians

  • October 18, 2026: Rediscovering Humility

    Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
    Humility is an important characteristic of spiritual and psychological maturity. Yet it is often misunderstood in ways that cause people to diminish themselves and their own light, joy, and confidence. How can we understand humility in ways that are life honoring?

Past Services

  • July 27, 2025: Practicing Spirituality

    In the past church year, Linda Pickle and Daniel Reed led an Adult RE course called “Spirit in Practice.” The course consisted of ten one-hour introductions to various forms of/approaches to practicing spirituality. This service is a small survey of the course as experienced by several students and the facilitators. It offers the congregation insights into practicing spirituality alone and with others. Led by Linda Pickle and Daniel Reed.

  • July 20, 2025: Death, Loss, and Other Disappointments

    When we lose people through death, or experience decline or setbacks in our own lives, it’s hard. It sets us on a path with vulnerability and surprise emotions. And while it can feel so lonely to go through loss, it’s one of the most common human experiences. Today’s sermon draws from Five True Things by Buddhist writer and psychotherapist David Richo. Led by Rev. Dr. Roger Jones.

  • July 13, 2025: I Put My Faith in Cicadas

    Discerning a call to ministry amid the noisy, chaotic beauty of millions of cicadas, these buzzing, bumbling bugs remind us we’re always transforming, always part of something larger, always capable of emerging anew—together. Led by Madison Colquette.

  • July 6, 2025: Advice in Uncertain Times

    As we navigate an unpredictable age, how do we cope? How do we heal? How do we make a difference? Led by Rev. Forrest Gilmore.

  • June 15, 2025: "The Need for Trustworthy Leadership"

    Trustworthiness means being worthy of the trust of others. Too often we don’t see this in leaders. How can we rebuild the importance of trustworthiness so that we may come to demand and expect it?

  • June 8, 2025: "Got Faith? How about Trust?"

    Another word for trust can be faith. As UUs, the language of faith doesn’t resonate with all of us, but trust is still an important foundation for how we embrace our own knowing.
