The Stories We Honor
Sunday worship service starts at 10:30am, in person and on YouTube
Whose stories do we believe and hold as sacred? For this Indigenous People’s day service, we’ll focus on this question and how the answer is rooted in justice. As Unitarian Universalists, we hold both personal experience and Indigenous traditions as sources of truth and wisdom. And yet, our religious ancestors participated in the extraordinary violence of residential schools. Today we’ll hold together the harm of the past and the hope of the future, as we strive to be in loving relationship with Indigenous people and stories. Led by Rev. Laurel Gray

Each month throughout most of the church year, we will host a program focused on the justice work that takes place within and beyond our congregation. Programs take place after Sunday worship and start with a community soup & salad lunch, followed by a justice program.
