March 2025 Worship Services

The Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching; Chela Metzger, worship associate. The observance of the Islamic Holy Month of Ramazan by many of the world's 1.8 billion followers of this tradition began on Friday. Join us as we learn more about Ramazan and explore the Gems of Islamic Wisdom found in the Hadith or sacred sayings of the tradition. We will consider the spiritual and ethical teaching found in the Hadith al Qudsi which are believed to be wisdom received directly from the divine. Join us worship in-person or online.

The Rev. Anne Gardner, preaching; Rebecca Haggerty, worship associate. Remember to Spring Forward! The Reverend Anne Gardner will serve as our guest preacher, offering a reflection on her experience of walking the famed 500-mile Camino de Santiago. She has written a book about this extraordinary journey, recently published by Adelaide Books (NY/Lisbon), titled And So I Walked. The book recounts both the challenges of completing a long-distance hike as well as the emotional and spiritual undercurrents her time on the trail revealed. Copies of her book will be available for sale and signature ($20) following the service. Join us in-person or online.

The Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching; Jef Travis, worship associate. This Sunday we will look at trust—built and broken. Trust that sustains a relationship and trust that is given to the undeserving. Trusting is critical to building healthy relationships. What does it take for you to trust? Do you have a pattern of trusting inappropriately? What is the relationship of trust and your spiritual faith? Let us meditate on Trust. Join us in-person or online.

The Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching; Dr. Susan Hendricks, worship associate. Transgender Day of Visibility is quickly approaching and we offer this service to explore gender liberation. Embracing transgender, nonbinary, intersex, and gender diverse people is a fundamental expression of our UU Religious Values. The overwhelming majority of delegates at last years' UUA General Assembly reaffirmed this commitment. Let's explore gender identity and the gender injustices plaguing our society. Join us in-person or online.

Jessica Ten-Have Place, DMRE, speaking; Jef Travis, worship associate. In the face of a society that tells us people are worth more or less than others depending on our race, gender, citizenship status, or the work we can do, it's a spiritual practice to celebrate the inherent worth of each and every person. All ages are invited to join us for this interactive, multi-generational service celebrating our inherent worth, beauty, and joy. Join us in-person or online.
