For most of our worship services beginning in the spring of 2020, we have video recordings of the full worship service and of just the sermon available for you to watch.
Churches As Places of Resistance and Healing–A Civil Rights Legacy
On this Martin Luther King Jr weekend, we will be reflecting on how the Black Church played a critical role in the Civil Rights movement--not just for organizing, but for community and mourning. We will be taking this time to embrace that role by recognizing the tremendous amount of loss this congregation has had in the last few years with a candlelight ritual for our own beloveds who have died. The choir will be singing for this important and meaningful service.
Journey Into Our Mission
We are in the second year of exploring what is important to UUCP after the pandemic and how we can further live into our mission. We'll be exploring the key focus areas for the congregation, the religious landscape we're in and the creative ways that we can be a "congregation for our time" in this year that has many of us anxious.
The Holy AND
Can two things that feel totally opposite at the same time both be true? Can we hold the dichotomy of emotions within a spiritual space? We will explore the many ways the "Holy AND" shows up in our lives and how it can be a path to greater understanding of our world and ourselves. This is the service topic that was part of our auction and won by Chris Fallon.
New Year Meditation
Let us enter 2025 together, with meditations, reflections and a return of our New Years Labyrinth to contemplate what has meaning for us in turning of the wheel.
Christmas Eve at UUCP: Carols & Readings, Cookies & Cider, The Power of a Story
Join us at 6pm for a relaxed Christmas Eve gathering of singing carols and sharing holiday reflections, then relax with cookies & cider while you gather in community between services. Our traditional Christmas Eve service begins at 7:30pm. Music, readings, and candles set the scene for a personal and meaningful night as we consider how the Nativity Story is relevant to our current lives.
Sonoran Solstice Spectacular
On the weekend of the Winter Solstice, we will explore the pagan roots of the holiday, focusing on what the darkness, quiet and solitude can teach us. The Sacred Earth Worship Group will be opening and closing our circles of community.
