This service may run longer than usual. There will be no Zoom service this Sunday.

And, this is the first day of Mountain Standard Time for November.

If someone says “High Church,” what comes to mind? How about “Tent Revival” or “Itinerant Preacher,” or maybe just “Sunday-go-to-meeting-finest?” We might not immediately think of a relaxed place where we are free to think, doubt, mess up, and try again. This Sunday, our visiting minister Rev. Jenny Peek joins us and brings us news of dismantling the imperialist church. What’s that? Well, it could look like high church, or a tent revival. It probably does not resemble a place where we can celebrate out bloopers.

Melody Lenkner is the Worship Associate

Our lives are filled with stories—those we inherit, those we tell ourselves, and those we share with others. In this talk, we’ll dive into the ways storytelling can be a tool for reflection, connection and meaning-making, and how we can harness its power to deepen our spiritual understanding and Unitarian Universalist principles.

Jonathan Thompson will speak.

As the election season heats up, the world turns to soundbites and completely out of context memes that are so easily shareable on social media.  They make us feel good, superior, and right.  But do they tell the whole story?  Can you know your neighbor by the memes they share?  Listening more deeply and finding out why someone feels the way they do is not only hard, but carries risks too. Is it worth it? 

Presented by Jeannine Robinett, Ministerial Intern

Worship Associate is Pam Blankenheim

Join us this Sunday as renowned artist David LaMure descries the spirituality of his art creations. He describes his work as definitely being influenced by one of the UU seven principles, “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.” His mission is to create wildlife art as a mission to the survival of our species. As Dave says, “By mirroring other creatures in the grace of solidarity, we can know we are nature.”

Don Morishita will be the Worship Associate
