SUMMARY:Divine Intervention in a Post-Modern World with special guest Cameron Young
DESCRIPTION:With many of our foundations in reason and Enlightenment-era thinking\, Unitarian Universalists often struggle with mystery. We’re often averse to things we might perceive as stories and beliefs that present as “supernatural.” But what if “real” and “not real” is a false binary? Perhaps we’re not asking the right questions when it comes to grappling with the unexplainable. \nAbout Cameron Young (they/them) \nCameron is a lifelong Texan and Unitarian Universalist- prior to assuming the position as Lead for the UUA Southern Region Congregational Life staff\, Cameron worked as field staff since 2019. Before joining the UUA\, Cameron served as a lifespan religious educator in Fort Worth\, Texas. Cameron has a Bachelor of Music from Louisiana State University and a Master of Divinity at Brite Divinity School where they graduated Summa Cum Laude and received the Sexual and Gender Justice certificate and the prestigious Walker Preaching Scholarship- they are currently a candidate for UU Ministry. A professional musician and classically trained singer\, Cameron has performed in numerous operas and musicals\, is a member and co-founder of the singing group Uptown Carolers and recorded with Grammy award winner Leon Bridges on his debut album. In their spare time\, Cameron is an avid traveler\, diehard fan of DFW sports teams\, and devoted coffee drinker. \nCameron Young is preaching\, music provided by acclaimed organist Ken Cowan. \nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY \n\n

SUMMARY:Reimagining and Remaking: To Arrive Where We Started | Rev. Beth Dana
DESCRIPTION:T. S. Eliot wrote about the experience of seeking and exploring\, only to return to where you started and to know the place for the first time.

Music provided by the Sanctuary Choir.\nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY \nReimagining and Remaking Series\nThe world as we’ve known it is shifting\, shaped by climate crisis\, injustice\, polarization\, and deep longing for something better.

Let’s explore the creativity needed to dream beyond the limits we’ve known\, the courage to honor the Earth and our shared destiny\, the persistence to make racial equity real\, and the wisdom that comes when we return to our beginnings with new eyes. Together\, we will imagine what is possible and take the first steps toward making it real.

SUMMARY:Reimagining and Remaking: Not a Box | Rev. Beth Dana
DESCRIPTION:Let’s think outside the box together about what creativity and imagination is called for in this time. How far can our imagination take us? \nRev. Beth Dana is preaching. Music provided by the Kindred Voices. (Children’s Choir at 11 am only.)\nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY \nReimagining and Remaking Series\nThe world as we’ve known it is shifting\, shaped by climate crisis\, injustice\, polarization\, and deep longing for something better. In this closing series of our Return Again theme year\, we ask: What now? What next? What if? \nThis is a time for spiritual imagination. Let’s explore the creativity needed to dream beyond the limits we’ve known\, the courage to honor the Earth and our shared destiny\, the persistence to make racial equity real\, and the wisdom that comes when we return to our beginnings with new eyes. Together\, we will imagine what is possible and take the first steps toward making it real.

SUMMARY:Why Are You You? Film Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 28 | 6:00 pm\nFirst Unitarian Church of Dallas\nREGISTER IN REALM\n\n \n\nJoin First Unitarian Church of Dallas for a screening and discussion of Why Are You You?\, a feature documentary exploring the history and lasting impact of the Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU).\n\n \n\nWhy Are You You? traces the story of YRUU\, a UU youth movement founded in 1983 where adolescents were encouraged to discover their authentic selves\, build beloved community\, and work for justice in the world. In this film\, former participants reflect forty years later on how their YRUU experiences shaped who they became and how they still show up in the world today.\n\n \n\nThis special screening is timed to honor a meaningful piece of local UU history: for many years\, First Unitarian Church of Dallas hosted a district-wide youth conference\, or “youth rally\,” that brought YRUU youth together from across the region. We invite current congregants\, friends\, and especially those who grew up in YRUU (or its predecessor LRY) to join us for this special night.\n\n \n\nMike Alves\, who grew up in YRUU here in Texas and whose daughter Phoebe also graduated from YRUU\, is curating a collection of YRUU photos and mementos to share at the event and is welcoming submissions from the wider community. If you have photos\, memorabilia\, or stories you’d like to contribute\, please send them to yruudoc@gmail.com.\n\n \n\nWhether you’re reconnecting with a formative chapter of your life or discovering this history for the first time\, we hope you’ll join us for this meaningful screening and conversation.
