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.
We Call Forth From Among You: The Sacred Trust of Ordination
On the Sunday of our Congregational Meeting and the vote to ordain Sky Williams-Tao, who grew up in this congregation, we will talk about the sacred act of ordination, why it matters, where it comes from and why we should feel so proud about it. Plus, we joyfully get to welcome new members into our community!
Those Closest to the Problem Are Closest to the Solution
Following the Leadership of Directly Impacted Partners - It's been a long tradition at UUCP to take our justice leadership from directly-impacted partners: from marching in Selma, to organizing against SB1070, and that continues into our anti-racism work today. Join us as we welcome back Janine Gelsinger, the Executive Director of UUJAZ (Unitarian Universalist Justice Arizona), in conversation with some of the frontline leaders of our partner organizations. Hear their stories, as we discuss what it means to do justice work together, and where we might go next.
Joy in the Face of Racism
For this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we will discuss the role of joy and creativity in resistance. Working against oppression doesn't always have to be serious! We'll give examples and explore the power of alternative thinking so that our "work" feels fun!
White Supremacy Culture: Worship of the Written Word
In our series to learn how to live into our new 8th Principle, we'll consider how White Supremacy Culture prioritizes the written word over other forms of communication and how opening ourselves to other forms can open ourselves to new ways of thinking.
Burning Bowl New Year Ritual
The new year is often time that we let go of old habits and embrace new possibilities. Join us for a meaningful ritual where we make tangible the symbolism of the turning of the year.
Kwanzaa
Join us for our annual Kwanzaa service as we hear from several of our UUCP community members about the meaning of Kwanzaa for them, and what we can all learn from this holiday.
