“Breaking Out of Repeat”

February 1, 2026 - 10:00am

With a nod to Groundhog's Day (2/2), we'll dive into the mistakes we make over and over. And how to give ourselves grace while learning to 'stop falling in the same hole'.

Worship Team:
Meg Dorsey, Amy Evans
Joan Harris, Patricia Leftridge

“A Friend in the Wilderness”

February 8, 2026 - 10:00am

The power of nature and the thrill of its connection are part of our ancestry. UU ancestors Ralph Waldo Emerson and Thomas Starr King are just a few who claimed Nature is our guiding force.

Worship Team:
Eric Howe, Rev. Sangye Hawke
Patricia Leftridge

Fellow UUs.

Fellow UUs, LA based activist/organizer Jess Craven (Chop Wood Carry Water) wrote this in her email today. It was inspiring and buoying to me. If you have been in this fight, let’s keep it up! If you are new to the fight, Welcome! We’re so glad you’re joining us! If you don’t know how to get involved in this fight of our lives I’d suggest with starting by reading Jess’s most recent post - click on black box link. You are needed! I love you, too. Carol Koons, SJT co-chair

“I love you guys. I am so very very proud of what we’re doing here, and what AMERICA is doing. We are collectively re-discovering our commitment to justice, democracy and freedom, and joining forces to save them. E pluribus, unum indeed. It’s the stuff out of history books or epic films, folks. But we’re not reading or watching it. We’re living it. What an honor. What a responsibility!

We are the ones the world is rooting for. So let’s go out there and do them proud.”
