Location: Fellowship Hall Acting "As If" is a concept that is now understood to mean that our actions can change our beliefs, and who we are. The concept began with a 20th century German Philosopher reflecting on the importance of belief, even if we can't prove it's "truth". It became popularized in psychology by an Austrian Doctor and Psychotherapist who was a colleague of Freud's. How does acting "as if" transform our individual and collective lives? How can we live with this abundance of faith in our selves? Location: Cozy Room (Susan B. Anthony) The Youth Room is open for centering and peer support. 
Location: Big Classroom (Emerson/Thoreau) The Book of Esther tells how a young Jewish woman, Esther, rises from obscurity to become queen of Persia and ultimately saves her people from destruction. When the king’s advisor, Haman, schemes to annihilate the Jews, Esther’s cousin Mordecai urges her to intervene—even though approaching the king uninvited could cost her life. Esther chooses courage over silence, revealing her identity at a pivotal banquet and exposing Haman’s plot. The king reverses the decree, the Jewish community is saved, and the festival of Purim is established to celebrate survival, resilience, and the power of speaking up at the right moment. Rabbi Ettin often highlights how the story blends humor, political satire, and moral seriousness—inviting us to consider where we find courage, how identity shapes responsibility, and how ordinary people can become agents of deliverance. Location: Foyer Plan to STAY LATE after the 9:15AM service and Forum or to ARRIVE EARLY for the 11AM service to connect and socialize with others. Location: Welcome Room (Whitney Young) If this is one of your first times visiting the Fellowship or you've found your way back after an extended absence, the New Here Gathering is for you!

Location: Temple Emanuel Deep in the hollows of the Appalachian Mountains, the construction of a fracked gas pipeline rips through mountaintops, forests, and streams, bearing down on rural communities across Appalachia. Russell, an Army veteran who once swore an oath to protect and serve his country, now finds his home, waters, and forests under threat. He enlists in the battle to defend his community. Russell joins forces with people along the pipeline route, including Georgia, an apple farmer in Virginia; Maury, a retired schoolteacher in West Virginia; and Crystal and Jason, Indigenous community leaders in North Carolina. Together, they form a movement that faces numerous setbacks as they take on the multibillion-dollar corporations behind the pipeline. When one of the nation’s most powerful politicians intervenes, the stage is set for a high-stakes showdown. However, their environmental impact – including water resources and high energy usage, resource consumption, noise pollution and effects on local communities – present significant foreseen and unforeseen challenges that need to be addressed and dealt with.

Location: Fellowship Hall This Sunday, we celebrate the Unitarian Universalist ritual of a Flower Communion. This ritual began at a Unitarian Church in Czechoslovakia finding it's purpose after war, and choosing to be together amidst fear. When the minister who created it was put in a concentration camp, he took the ritual with him and it found new life and commitment to joy amidst atrocity and suffering. This beautiful and grounded-in-struggle ritual celebrates our capacity to keep life and love alive, and keep turning to one another. Bring a flower (or a few) and receive some. Those joining online, bring a flower inside with you if you can! Location: Cozy Room (Susan B. Anthony) The Youth Room is open for centering and peer support.
Location: Big Classroom (Emerson/Thoreau) Karen Cross introduces the Complaint‑Free World 21‑day challenge—a simple but transformative practice that invites us to shift from habitual complaining to intentional, empowered communication. Participants learn how a small physical cue, like moving a bracelet from wrist to wrist, builds awareness of negative speech patterns and opens space for gratitude, problem‑solving, and deeper connection. Over 21 days, the challenge becomes a spiritual and practical discipline: noticing our words, choosing our focus, and creating a more compassionate, constructive environment in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Location: Foyer Plan to STAY LATE after the 9:15AM service and Forum or to ARRIVE EARLY for the 11AM service to connect and socialize with others.

Location: Fellowship Hall This Sunday, we celebrate the Unitarian Universalist ritual of a Flower Communion. This ritual began at a Unitarian Church in Czechoslovakia finding it's purpose after war, and choosing to be together amidst fear. When the minister who created it was put in a concentration camp, he took the ritual with him and it found new life and commitment to joy amidst atrocity and suffering. This beautiful and grounded-in-struggle ritual celebrates our capacity to keep life and love alive, and keep turning to one another. Bring a flower (or a few) and receive some. Those joining online, bring a flower inside with you if you can! Location: Conference Room (Library) Middle School youth and their Facilitators will explore different faith traditions as they become rooted in Unitarian Universalism. Location: Cozy Room (Susan B. Anthony) High School youth will explore different faith traditions as they become rooted in Unitarian Universalism. This is a youth-led program with support from adult advisors. Location: Welcome Room (Whitney Young) If this is one of your first times visiting the Fellowship or you've found your way back after an extended absence, the New Here Gathering is for you! |
