Sunday Worship Service
this sunday, march 23, 2025
"The Light and the Windows" with Dr. Gary Dorrien, Guest Speaker
"I am not sure exactly what will happen on March 23, as I am accustomed to riffing in the moment. But there will surely be a sliver from my recent memoir, Over from Union Road: My Christian-Left-Intellectual Life, which will include my recollection of meeting and befriending Forrest Church, which will lead to a reflection on Forrest, Emerson, the intertwining of love and death, the Light shining through different windows, and the intertwined U's of the UU tradition." Dr. Gary Dorrien.
Dr. Gary Dorrien is a professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, dedicated to the study of ethics, religion and social justice. Dr. Dorrien has written over twenty books and is a historian and storyteller dedicated to reminding religious liberals about the multi-generational work needed for racial justice and labor rights.

Sundays for children and youth

After the first 15-20 minutes of the service, they have the option of joining the religious exploration leader in the adjoining hall for activities and age-appropriate religious exploration. Childcare is also available for the very young. Of course, all are welcome to remain in the sanctuary for the entire service. Learn about this week’s program for kids.
