Topic: The Quaking of Aspens
Speaker: Rev. Kimberley Debus
We begin our consideration of connections by looking to our natural world: what can other living beings teach us about generosity, support, and community? New members will be welcomed in during this service.

Topic: Harvest the Power
Speaker: Adrian L.H. Graham
Our Unitarian and Universalist forebears left behind legacies teaching that there is a Oneness over and within us that connects us as kin, and that this Oneness can be understood as a Love holding all we kindred dear. How can a Unitarian Universalist theology centering “Oneness” and “Love” meet this moment with lasting power to transform lives for the better and build the Beloved Community we dream of?
Date: March 30, 2025
Topic: Question Box
Speaker: Rev. Kimberley Debus
What questions do you have – about religion, spirituality, theology, congregational life, ministry, social justice, and general Unitarian Universalism? Bring them with you and Rev. Kimberley will pull your questions “out of the box” and answer as many as she can!
April Services Theme: TRANSFORMATION

Topic: Trusting Process
Speaker: SarahRuth or Wekoye Davis
Join us as we travel with Womanist Theologian Monica A. Coleman and Social Scientist John M. Gottman, in exploring Trust and answering the deep questions, who and what is it we trust?

Date: April 13, 2025
Topic: See the Whole Board
Speaker: Rev. Kimberley Debus
Are you looking at the forest or the trees? Is the devil really in the details? What’s the big picture? We’ll examine the role our perspective plays in how we make decisions for ourselves, our congregation, and our communities.
Date: April 20, 2025
Topic: Things Not Seen (Easter)
Speaker: Rev. Kimberley Debus
Unitarian Universalists sometimes have an uneasy relationship with observances of Passover and Easter, yet those stories have much to tell us about what we are called to do in times of unrest, and how we might find hope.
Date: April 27, 2025
Topic: Bear Witness: Save Lives
Speaker: CB Beal
It is a vital part of Beloved Community that we are able to trust that people will be still and bear witness to us, acknowledge and accept what we share. We must be present with one another with curiosity and empathy that honors our different life experiences. CB will share about the spiritual practice of bearing witness and trusting others to bear witness to us.
