It is a great gift of human beings to be able to intuitively feel that we are all connected. For some, this is more natural and for others it seems almost to be missing. Empathy is one of the most vital skills for emotional intelligence.

Empathy doesn’t ask us to take responsibility for someone else’s feelings. It is the ability to be truly present with someone. It is the ability to hold a safe space for others to experience their own emotions. Empathy is an important skill of emotional intelligence and is cultivated over a lifetime of effort.

Given the current political climate, it is important for us to work to cultivate empathy for others and help others learn to cultivate this skill also.

Unitarian Universalism honors the differing paths we each travel. Our congregations are places where we celebrate, support, and challenge one another as we continue on our spiritual journeys.

Unitarian Universalists covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equality and compassion in human relations; and acceptance of one another.

Newcomers of all religious paths or none at all are always welcome. We are handicapped accessible. Please park in the rear of the building. Child care is available.
