  • Faith Seeking Understanding

    Featured Sunday Service
    Rafos Hall 310 Danforth Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    Our theme this month is Unitarian Universalism's 3rd Principle, "the acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth." But what is spiritual growth and how can we encourage it in ourselves and our congregation? Join us this Sunday to reflect on the relationship between faith, logic, doubt, and questioning. Rev. Sally will offer a message inspired by 11th Century Benedictine monk, Anselm of Canturbury, as we consider how ancient philosophies might still serve our spiritual growth today. Speaker: Rev. Sally Fritsche Music: Spirit Choir  

  • Practice, Practice, Practice

    Featured Sunday Service
    Rafos Hall 310 Danforth Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    What is a spiritual practice, and what exactly makes it spiritual? Join us this Sunday for a chance to reflect on the meaning and purpose of spiritual practices, and to expand your conception of what practices in your own life might "count" as spiritual. Speaker: Rev. Sally Fritsche Service Weaver: Gordon Thorne Music: Cathy Nosaty Storytime: Julia and Kat

    Winter Solstice

    Featured Sunday Service
    Rafos Hall 310 Danforth Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    Astronomically, the Winter Solstice is the moment when the North Pole is furthest from the Sun. That will happen at 10:03 a.m. on December 21. Join us in that moment of Solstice with drumming and ritual dancing, after which we’ll cast the circle for our annual Yule Service around 10:30. At the crest of rebirth and renewal, Yule teaches us the value of rest and reflection. It reminds us that healing requires space and time, just as the earth rests before every bloom of Spring. Speaker: Kendrew Pape Service Weaver: Kurt Thomsen Music: Camill@ leads the Yule Drum Gathering Storytime: Julia tells a Winter Story

    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

  • Dr. King and the UUs

    Featured Sunday Service
    Rafos Hall 310 Danforth Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    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
