In this service, we will explore how we can communicate with each other to get the best out of our relationships.

With Rev. Tracy Sprowls. What is the purpose of our fellowship, particularly in this time of distrust, disinformation, and dystopia? What mission guides us and what vision points the way?

From viral cat antics to goofy dog videos, animals have a way of lifting our spirits and reminding us of the joy in everyday life. This Sunday, we’ll celebrate the many ways our animal companions -- whether furry, feathered, or scaled -- bless our lives with comfort, laughter, and love. Bring photos of an animal you live with or love or admire or lost. Bring your well behaved dogs and cats or chickens, too. Live animals are welcome. So are beloved stuffies.

with Rev. Tracy Sprowls. This summer, Tracy was minister of the week for the UUs at the Chautauqua Institution. The theme for the week was The Power of One and the interfaith theme was Whose Body, Whose Choice? Tracy shares her Chautauqua sermon this morning.

with Rev. Tracy Sprowls. Jan Richardson, the writer, artist, and minister writes, “You hardly knew how hungry you were to be gathered in, to receive the welcome that invited you to enter entirely—nothing of you found foreign or strange, nothing of your life that you were asked to leave behind or to carry in silence or in shame.” We visit this theme often, but this morning we go a little deeper into what sanctuary means in today’s political climate.
