We don’t try to be the perfect thing for everyone, all the time, because that’s impossible. Instead, we try to be who we are: Unitarian Universalists, who put love at the center of all we do.

When we have a hard thing to do, it’s a good thing to have the right supplies—the necessary equipment—to help us get it done.

An interactive, cooperative process of creating a prayer of lament.

An activity to help congregants of all ages remember the tools available to help get through difficult times.

Remembering the proposed Unitarian Universalist Association's Article 2 values is as easy as counting on your fingers!

Some geologists believe that gases from the earth caused the Delphic oracle’s fits of passion and her prophecies. But the scientific answer does not mean the Greeks were foolish to believe they had a relationship with Apollo; it does not erase the relationship they had with their gods.

Change can be uncomfortable. Like any time we learn a new technology, it can take a little while to adjust.

Rain falls upon the surface of the earth, and pulled by gravity each drop begins to flow downhill. Drop merges with drop, flowing together, into a trickle, a streamlet, a creek, a mighty river, flowing onward. Some of the water seeps down into the earth itself, as groundwater, or deep aquifers,...

Think of where you feel safe and at peace. What’s the signal that tells you it’s okay to be at peace? (Ask for answers.) For people in the United States military, there’s a special signal that says “you’re okay, and you’re at peace.” It's a melody called "Taps," and it's only 24 notes...

Today I’m going to tell a story about a girl who was searching for a porpoise. Now, as you probably know, a porpoise is a sea mammal in the dolphin family. Porpoises are smaller and shyer than dolphins. They are more difficult to find, but porpoises are very important. Minister (or other Worship...
