  • Dark, heavy clouds over the ocean, seen from the coast. Behind the nearly-black clouds, near the horizon, we see indirectly the brightness of the sun. Its light gives a golden glow to the parts of the ocean and sky that are not in deep shadow from the clouds.
    Voice still and small, as we turn inward we listen for you. Deep inside all, this Easter morning, open our hearts to hear you in the figure of Jesus.

  • A black-and-white image of three Polaroid photographs, slightly overlapping one another, on a wooden table with visible grain. The faded and slightly blurry photos look like they are casual shots of a few people sitting on risers in a high-school or college gym, and they give the impression of having been taken long ago.
    A ritual for honoring and remembering beloved ancestors and the recently departed, with roots in both the Christian and Pagan traditions.

  • A mural of a large red heart on a blue background, painted on a pair of wooden doors in a brick wall.
    Together we create a love energy more powerful than any force of oppression…

  • A multi-colored quilt image, with blues and reds and white, along with thread bobbins and other quilting tools, is the background of this graphic. On top of this is a maroon-colored box with the word Love inside in all caps and white font.
    This reflection on Love is part of a collection entitled, "Theological Reflection on Shared Values" by Rev. Dr. Sheri Prud’homme. In 2024, Unitarian Universalists adopted six shared values, centered around love, as a guiding expression of their faith.

  • One person leading another by the hand on a city street. Our point of view is from near the right shoulder of the person being led, who is a white man wearing a long-sleeve grey knit shirt. All we see of him is his arm stretched out to the leader’s hand, which he is holding. The leader, a white woman, is wearing a jean jacket with the sleeve rolled up to just below the elbow; she is also wearing a turquoise bracelet and a red cloth bracelet. We see her arm and torso but not her head.
    Lead us to the love that holds us all and is with us always; the love that can help us through the messy and necessary life-altering work of building movements across beliefs, across difference, for change that can endure.

  • A close-up photo of one cosmos flower in a group of several. The flower’s striated petals are mostly violet, but are a deeper reddish purple near the many yellow stamens in the flower’s center.
    Ours is the work of creation. Ours is the work of inviting people into an irresistible movement, rooted in our belief that a new world is possible. And the center of our work is love, and joy, and the spirit of abundance.

  • A glass ball, held in a person’s hand at the sea shore, acts as a lens and shows an inverted image of the sea and the sunset sky. The image in the glass ball is sharp and in focus; the actual sea and sky, visible around the ball, is out of focus.
    As we light this chalice, we kindle the spirit of the great turning: the movement for justice alive in this nation today. May we feel it in our bones, and in the stillness of this hour, may we sense it calling our name.

  • A white wooden sign with “polling station” written on it in capital letters is attached with a zip tie to a fence surrounding a park, near a yellow turnstile gate in the fence. In the background, blurred, we see several people on a grassy lawn in the park, with trees behind them.
    As Unitarian Universalists, we believe democracy is more than a political system; it is a shared journey, a collective responsibility, and a profound act of faith in one another.

  • The painting “Our Banner in the Sky” (1861) by Frederic Edwin Church. The lower third of the painting is a dark landscape with hills, trees, and a river. The top two-thirds consists of the sky, with streaks of clouds colored red by the light of the setting sun, and a patch of starry night sky visible. A limbless tree trunk rises on the left, and combined with the red and white lines of clouds and the patch of starry sky, gives the impression of the flag of the United States flying on a flagpole.
    Oh Spirit of Life and Love, fortify us with the wisdom and tenacity of our ancestors to continue toward the promise in the founding documents of our nation: a nation where all of us are created as equals and are endowed with the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

  • A young Black person wearing a dark blue-black durag and a white T-shirt faces away from us, with their left hand raised in a fist and their right hand holding a hand-drawn sign on white paperboard. The sign’s text, in reddish-brown ink, says: “Liberty & Justice for ALL!” The person is standing in front of a small group of people, too blurry to make out distinctly.
    Our faith also gives us hope. A faith that knows that transformation is a holy and sacred task, that affirms that the democratic process is a faithful act, that brings a generous heart and a lens of justice and liberation to all that we do, that values equality and equity and is centered in love.

  • In a somewhat crowded church or community center, two middle-aged men lean over a chair to embrace one another. One has greying hair and is wearing a light blue short-sleeve shirt, and one has black hair and is wearing an olive-green short-sleeve shirt.
    As we set down this work for the day, may we release with it all that has wounded us, keeping close only what has fed and enlivened our spirit... When we bless the world with our love, we are blessed in return.

  • A man with light brown skin in a white T-shirt and with his black hair in a ponytail holds a binder and a small American flag on a stick as he stands on the porch of a house. He is turned partly away from us, and is speaking with an older man, also with light brown skin, whose gray hair falls past his shoulders onto his blue, green, and purple plaid shirt. The older man is inside the house, and the door is open.
    In these times of fragmentation... to canvass is to choose the deeper assurance of interconnectedness and to heed the call of radical, all-embracing love.

  • A lily blossom, with pale violet leaves and yellow stamens, floats in a pond. Our view is from directly above, and in the water around the blossom we see the reflection of the concentric circles of the frames supporting the glass roof of a greenhouse.
    We extinguish this flame to remind us: love is the center. As we explore and rest, engage and heal: love remains the center. When all we can see is cold ashes: love remains.

  • Against a uniform dark background, a bright yellow light shines in the upper left of the image. Rays of light and lens flare effects stream from the central light.
    We light this chalice with all our soul’s longing, to be who we are, to be who will we will become, to be ourselves.

    The offering we take each Sunday is an opportunity to recommit to this place, and to these people. It is as much a ritual as singing together, lighting our Chalice, or reciting our Unison Affirmation.

    On this Sunday before Labor Day, we light this flame to honor all work. Not only the work we do for pay with our hands, our backs, and our minds, that is important, yes. But also the work we do for love!
