Many Unitarian Universalists would describe themselves as humanists. But what exactly is humanism? Is it a religion? Are all humanists atheists or agnostics, and are all atheists and agnostics also humanists? What is morality and ethics according to humanism? Join us this Sunday as our own Dr. Gene Vinzant addresses these as he speaks on “What is Humanism?”

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS SUNDAY: There is a high likelihood that we will need to have the service remotely via Zoom due to hazardous road conditions. The final decision will be made late Saturday afternoon, and another email will be sent out at that time to confirm and will provide any necessary links to join so that they will be fresh in your inbox.

The Service will also be live streamed on Facebook whether we have it in person or via Zoom. You can tune in and watch that way via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/share/18scNka77A/

A sense of belonging is one of the deepest needs we all have. Yet, we live in a time when people are often separated and alone.

Mutual aid is a practice centered around sharing resources and services with those around us. It’s the embodiment of “build a longer table, not a higher wall.” Join Katy Wagner for a look into how this model can help each of us build strong, thriving communities in spite of the imperfect world we live in, and envision a life where everyone has what they need.

Inclement weather caused us to have to cancel service on the 12th, so Rev. John Johnson will give his sermon this Sunday instead! Yay! — For centuries, the simple teachings of Jesus have been poisoned by the dogma that Christianity is the only true religion and only those who adhere to a certain set of beliefs will be “saved.” This, in part, helps us understand why so many former Christians have fled the Church and continue to do so. It also reveals the danger of the current white “Christian Nationalist” movement. How different history might have been if these prophetic figures could have sat down and had a meal and a conversation together! Rev. John Johnson will be our speaker. Join us!
