May 23: “Patience: More of a Clue than a Virtue”

What if developing patience for difficult people and situations in our lives isn’t the virtue it’s cracked up to be? Patience has its place in building beloved community. Join us this Sunday for our worship service when visiting minister, Rev. Jenny Peek, shares her reflection on patience as a clue, more than a virtue.

Reminder: We are now meeting in person. Please join our service at our normal meeting place: 160 9th Avenue East, in Twin Falls.

Presenter: Mary Beth Basinger

This month as we reflect on what it means to be a People of “Becoming,” Mary Beth Basinger will share her thoughts on becoming younger. Inspired by the Bob Dylan song “My Back Pages,” she will reflect on how we can shed concepts like good, bad, smart, right, or successful, and return to a place where it is enough to just be.

April 4: “Easter” (Online Service)

Posted on by

Presenter: Rev. Monica Dobbins

In any of a million moments in our lives, we approach a tomb with a heavy stone rolled in front, filled with grief for the everyday losses of life. Ancient stories, even stories we thought we no longer needed, continue to have resonance for us today. What do the stories of Passover and Easter have to say to us, now, today?

March 28: “To Be Known as I Am”

Posted on by

Presenter: Rev. Jenny Peek

Unitarian Universalism has long been recognized as a highly individualist faith. Members and friends value their freedoms to think, reason, and choose their respective paths.

The road we are on now calls us to dig deep into our values, challenging and testing the cost and benefits of what we hold so dear. Who bears the cost or enjoys the benefit? Join us this Sunday as our visiting minister Rev. Jenny Peek brings her reflection on this challenging topic.

Posted on by

Presenter: Rev. Monica Dobbins

In these politically polarized times, we know that we must hold politicians accountable for their breaches of trust before unity can be possible. But what about when “those people” are OUR people – people we love? How can we keep our relationships while navigating profound political differences?
