SUMMARY:Blues Christmas | Breaking Open | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald
DESCRIPTION:Our annual time to acknowledge the ways this time of year can try our spirits. The blues is a balm for your soul. \nRev. T. J. FitzGerald is preaching. Featuring special Blues Music.\nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY \n \nBreaking Open Series\nBased on the beloved hymn “People\, Look East\,” this Advent series invites us into a season of waiting that is also a season of preparing\, softening\, and opening. We will notice what is breaking open in us and around us — moments when cracks let in light\, when hearts stretch to hold both sorrow and hope\, and when breaking open becomes a path to transformation. \nOur journey begins with an exploration of preparation that looks beyond the visible tasks of the season to the deeper work of readying our hearts and spirits for what lies ahead. We will plant seeds of possibility in seemingly barren ground\, trusting in growth we cannot yet see. We will join in the joy and wonder of our community’s Christmas pageant\, welcoming the light that children so naturally carry. And we will create space for the tender truths of this season\, acknowledging that sorrow and struggle are also part of our Advent journey\, and that even in those places\, healing and hope can take root.

SUMMARY:Are You A Humanist? | Ancestors of Our Faith | Rev. Beth Dana
DESCRIPTION:Humanism is a foundational thread of our Unitarian Universalist tradition. What do our humanist ancestors have to say to us today about faith and life?  \nRev. Beth Dana is preaching. Music TBD.\nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY \n \nAncestors of Our Faith Series\nThis series honors those whose courage and conviction formed the soul of our tradition. They were not perfect\, but they were faithful: to truth\, to love\, and to the possibility of a better world. In honoring these ancestors of faith\, we ask: What do we inherit from them? What do we carry forward?  \nWe begin with the 4th-century Unitarians who challenged the prevailing Trinitarian view of Jesus\, asking whether their bold theological ideas still speak to us today. We move to the 19th-century Transcendentalists\, whose vision of the “transient” and the “permanent” in religion continues to offer clarity and guidance. We then honor those in our movement who have defied oppressive systems\, reminding us that civil disobedience can be both effective and deeply faithful. Finally\, we turn to the humanist voices in our history\, exploring what their insights offer for a life of meaning and purpose now.

SUMMARY:Ingathering Sunday: Return Again | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald
DESCRIPTION:Ingathering is our kick–off to the church year. Let’s come together once more to renew our bonds and celebrate the journey ahead. \nReturn Again Finding the sacred ground where we are made and remade \nReturn again\, Return again\, \nReturn to the home of your soul. \nReturn to who you are\, \nReturn to what you are\, \nReturn to where you are \nborn and reborn again. \n– Shlomo Carlebach \nIn a world constantly in motion\, fractured by noise\, change\, and uncertainty\, we offer a sacred invitation: Return Again. This theme year is a spiritual journey back to center\, a reclaiming of what grounds us in ourselves\, in each other\, and in the Divine\, however we name it.  \nReturn Again speaks to the deep human longing for home – not only the physical place\, but the spiritual\, ancestral\, and communal homes we carry within. It is a call to listen for the still small voice amid the clamor of modern life\, and to remember who we are\, where we come from\, and what we are called to become.    \nOver the course of this year\, we will move through a rhythm of return that invites depth\, vulnerability\, courage\, and imagination:  \n\nReturn to the Home of Your Soul \n\n\nAncestors of Faith \n\n\nBreaking Open \n\n\nReturn to Who You Are \n\n\nReclaiming Religious Language \n\n\nReimagining and Remaking \n\nCome as you are. Bring your questions\, your longings\, your weariness\, and your hope. Together\, let us return\, remember\, and reimagine.  \nRev. T. J. FitzGerald is preaching\, music provided by the Sanctuary Choir. \nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY

It calls us to act with compassion and empathy toward those who suffer and to advocate for justice in the world. \nJoin us for our summer sermon series as we journey through the realms of faith\, humanity\, and the divine\, illuminated by the magic of film. During the week\, we gather in community to view a diverse selection of films that captivate the heart and mind. Each screening will be followed by a discussion where we unpack the film’s themes\, symbolism\, and relevance to our shared journey. Films start at 6pm sharp in the Don Krehbiel Music Center. Discussion is from 7:45-8:15pm. On Sunday mornings\, join us as we continue to explore the films and their lessons in worship.
