This Week's Service
The Gospel According to Dolly: An All Ages Service
January 12 at 10 am
Unitarian Universalists are invited to connect with our sources to ground us and sustain us in ordinary, difficult, and joyous times. Grateful for the experiences that move us, aware of the religious ancestries we inherit, and enlivened by the diversity which enriches our faith, we are called to ever deepen and expand our wisdom. Dolly Parton grew up in the Great Smokies of Tennessee knowing that she could make music. The granddaughter of a preacher, she grew up singing church music and hearing stories from the Bible. We will reflect on how Dolly's music, life, and work and how it might inspire us to find our own prophetic voices to challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love.
Last Week's Service
Glimmers in the Darkness Help us Find Light in the New Year
At this time of year we find ourselves reflecting and dreaming. We want to welcome you into this space and time to celebrate the little glimmers and the moments where you felt supported. We also need to acknowledge the challenges we have faced and continue to carry into the next year. Understanding that none of us are meant to go through life alone and that we can be vulnerable, open, and held with love and care here at UUCCI. Join us for an opportunity to engage with all the feelings you might be experiencing and also allow us to help hold dream space for you to envision the possibilities for you as you move into 2025.
