  • Five young multicultural adults are seated at two adjoining desks in a glass-walled room suggesting a library. Two students are looking down at open books, while the other three appear to be chatting with one another.

  • A close-up of a piece of lapis lazuli. Most of the image is the deep blue of the stone, but there is a large irregularly-shaped area of white on the left side of the photo. Throughout, the stone contains cracks as well as flecks of gold-colored pyrite.
    Some years are hard. Some holidays won’t feel jolly. Some days are best kept In quiet contemplation. But none of that makes this time less holy. None of that makes you less worthy…

  • A black-and-white photo of a large adult hand, open and facing upward, with a lit tea light in its palm.

  • A baby with brown skin looks directly with wide eyes at the camera while being held by a woman with brown skin and black hair, wearing a white sweater with two blue stripes around the upper arm. The woman is turned partly away from us, so that what is visible to us is her right shoulder, part of her back, and the right side of her face. Her eyes are closed and her mouth is in a gentle smile. The baby looks at us over her shoulder with an expression of excitement and curiosity.
    Beloved Child — May you know great love; may you feel deep joy; may you understand the work of justice and the light of truth.

  • A white woman with neck-length reddish brown hair, wearing brown glasses and a dark green top, holds her right hand to her heart while closing her eyes. She is standing and facing to our left. In the same room, behind her and out of focus, are other people also standing in prayerful postures.
    We come together in this quiet moment to unify our hearts again towards the clarion call of our time: May justice and equity guide us to great connection, a greater truth.

  • 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 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.

  • At night, a person in a black hoodie holds a lantern while standing on the sea shore. In the darkness, we see only the person’s head and upper body lit by the lantern, as well as the dark blue sea and some clouds visible in the last light of day. There are stars in the sky above.
    May we continue to strive to know one another in community.

  • The face and arms of a young person, surrounded by darkness, are illuminated by the light from the fire in a sky lantern that he is holding and about to launch.

  • We declare that there are many paths to the sacred. We hold fast to the notion that one religion does not hold all the truth for all time, not even Unitarian Universalism. We maintain that a free, open, and respectful dialogue is one of the primary ways our theological perspectives evolve and grow.

  • A Black child around 8 years old stares down at a desk covered in books, with a dismayed or tired look on their face.
    From the beginning, the story of Black people in America has been told through the lens of white supremacy.

  • Black and white photo of two children walking away from the viewer on a straight dirt path, with brush and trees on either side. The taller child's arm is around the smaller child's shoulder. The smaller child is wearing a knit sweater and a striped knit hat with a pompom.
    The journey toward inner truth is too taxing to be made solo.
