Seasons of Love

How do we measure a year? What do we celebrate in life and love? At the end of the year, let us look back at the things we hold dear – our families, our friends, and our communities within and beyond the church.

Setting Our Intentions

Rather than setting New Year’s resoultions which so often fade after a month or two, let us consider setting intentions for this year together.

The Fertile Darkness

Join us the day after Christmas for a special service about winter solstice presented by Helen Cassara, (they/them) who serves as UUCTS’s Director of Religious Exploration and is also a seminarian at Starr King School of Ministry.

Joy is Resistance

Joy is different than happiness, it is deeper, more abiding, and has the power to sustain us even when things are difficult. Holding on to joy in the face of difficulty, in the face of oppression or marginalization is an act of resistance.

A UU Christian Christmas

We are in an expectant season for many. In Christianity, we are remembering a First Coming and anticipating a Second. Come hear a Unitarian Universalist understanding of the Good News of Christmas this third week in Advent.

Finding Joy

The Archbishop Desmond Tutu and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, shared extensively about ways of finding joy in life. They describe spiritual radiance as a serene joy born from deep well-being. Let us consider what creates spiritual radiance in your life.

Holding the Before Times Loosely

In our Covid reality, it’s common for us to look wistfully back at “the Before Times.” But is looking back helping us make sense of our experience right now, or hurting us? Join us as we explore how an understanding of history can help us to move forward while healing ourselves and our communities.

In Remembrance

The National Transgender Day of Remembrance is November 20th each year. There are far too many Trans people murdered and setting aside a day of remembrance of the lives cut short by unspeakable violence remains necessary over two decades after the first TDOR was observed.

Your Story – History of UUCT

Over the last week, many of you have shared a moment of UUCT history that was particularly meaningful for you or your family. This service will highlight some of those stories and how those are linked to the covenant you share with one another.
