Like a book club but with less to read! Facilitated by Tom Hamilton and Bronwen Jones.
Topic: Was there a time in your life when you were significantly humbled by circumstance or by a new-found awareness about yourself? How did you work through this to get to a better place?
Join us every 2nd and 4th Saturday evening from 7:00-8:30 pm for International Folk Dancing led by Sandy Helperin and Teri Hoffman.
James Witker, preaching; Dr. Susan Hendricks, Worship Associate. A child of missionaries, Sophia Lyon Fahs' own spiritual odyssey would transform liberal religious education from rote study into an experience-centered search for truth and meaning. Her lifelong dedication to children’s learning, and to the quest for knowledge from all sources, helped usher an era of rapid and unprecedented growth that was dubbed “The Unitarian Renaissance.” Even today, we at UUSM remain part of the revolution of ideas that Sophia Lyon Fahs instigated — and she still has much to teach us. James Witker has been a member of UUSM since 2010, during which time has been involved especially with the Faith In Action Commission (FIA) and Adult Programs (RE). He has also served on the board of the Unitarian Universalist Humanist Association (UUHA), and works professionally as a documentary film and TV editor and producer whose work can be seen on Showtime, Netflix, Tennis Channel, and other networks. Join us for worship in-person and online.
Join us under the shade structure after the service as we prepare brown bag lunches for our homeless neighbors.
Do you remember Second Sunday Supper from before the pandemic? We are bringing together these two traditional UUSM community events to the second Sunday of the month. It is a magical family night of live music and potluck dishes. Admission is a donation of $10 for adults. Children are free.

The purpose of Reflecting Circles is to share how our community members have been affected by events that occurred this Spring and to hear what you need and want from our community right now.

The Process of Becoming. Change is hard. Transformation is even more difficult. How might the butterfly's cycle of life offer us a pathway toward transforming the world through courageous love?

She is also the affiliated community minister at Orange Coast UU Church. She previously served as the Interfaith Programs Assistant at the University of Southern California's Office of Religious and Spiritual Life, as well as a chaplain intern at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
