What do you do when the life you’d imagined for yourself is stuck in committee? Join us for the story of the UU Hysterical Society...The practical joke that accidentally turned into a 300 thousand person UU community on Facebook. It’s a story of feeling lost, finding yourself, and UUism-outside-the-box. Speaker: Liz James Service Weaver: Gillian Music: Susanne Maziarz and friends Storyteller: Kat  

SeedChange supports smallholder farmers in growing resilient, sustainable food systems, highlighting the importance of seed and food sovereignty as expressions of choice and collective decision-making.

Unitarian Universalism came together as a merged denomination in 1961, the same year the first Freedom Rides bussed through the American south, and just two years before Martin Luther King Jr’s march on Washington and his much-quoted “I have a dream” speech. We will reflect on where our UU tradition’s unique story intersects with that of Dr. King. Where were the UUs during Rev. Dr. King’s push for Black civil rights? And what lessons can our justice efforts today take from that unique history? Speaker: Rev. Sally Service Weaver: Peter Marmorek Music: Susanne and friends  

Over the last few years a back-lash has emerged against the work on diversity, equity and anti-racism that arose after the murder of George Floyd. As companies and governments backtrack, we see a rise in racism and discrimination in our general culture. At the same time progressives have been accused of censorship and a lack of tolerance for others views. What should we make of this? And how can faith and spirituality help us to find a way forward towards achieving a racially just world for all?' Speaker: Kofi Hope Service Weaver: Gordon Clee Music: Spirit Choir  

Once upon a time a UU congregation in Toronto set out on an exciting journey... What happens next in our story? We'll decide together! Join us this Sunday to flex our imaginations and recommit ourselves to a next chapter we will write together. Speaker: Rev. Sally Service Weaver: Debb Music: Spirit Band

Join us this Sunday for a service reflecting on safety, policing, and how our communities might navigate fear without abandoning our values and commitments. The Sumudna protest choir will join us for this service, and together we will sing, meditate, and reflect on Unitarian Universalism's 8th Principle: Individual and communal action that accountably dismantles racism and systemic barriers to full inclusion in ourselves and our institutions. Speaker: Rev. Sally Service Weaver: Kurt Thomsen Music: Sumudna Choir  

Unitarian Universalism is accurately described as non-creedal. That leaves the question though: is there any core UU understanding? Speaker: Rev. Linda Thomson Service Weaver: Tab Music: Beverley Horton

This Sunday, we will celebrate International Women’s Day with a reflection on our tradition’s past and future as a spiritual home to powerful women. Learn about the 19th Century Iowa Sisterhood, some of the earliest female ministers in the Unitarian tradition, and the barriers they broke. Together we will meditate on questions of religious authority and the stories we tell ourselves, and help envision a future in which a true diversity of voices speak from our pulpits. Speaker: Rev. Sally Service Weaver: Moira Music: Susanne and friends
