Sunday Services
Sunday, February 1, 11:00 a.m. – Embodying Resistance: A Musical Service – Land Sisters, Liesbet Bickett
You are warmly invited to a service held primarily through music, rhythm, and shared presence. We are honored to welcome Land Sisters, a musical collective made up of Kiki, Claire, Kahish, Dianna, Ivy, Anaëlle, and Casey—one of whom is a cherished member of our community. Together, they offer original music woven with guitar, percussion, and cello.
The theme of the service is Embodying Resistance. This gathering invites us to experience resistance not as an abstract idea, but as something lived and felt—in our bodies, our voices, and our collective breath. Each part of the service will be carried by song, guiding us through a shared arc of reflection, expression, and connection.
This is a participatory service, and you are invited to join in the singing in whatever way feels comfortable for you—out loud, quietly, or simply by listening. You are welcome to move, rest, hum, or be still, allowing the music to meet you where you are. Following the service, all are invited to stay for a potluck meal with continued music and fellowship. Please bring a dish to share if you are able, and linger as long as you wish for food, conversation, and song.
Come as you are. Bring your voice, your presence, or simply your listening. You are welcome here.
Sunday, February 8, 11:00 a.m. – Embodying Resistance – Amy Day
In a world that often feels heavy with loss, injustice, and uncertainty, we gather this Sunday to explore what it means to keep showing up with open hearts and steady spirits. Inspired by voices wrestling with how to parent, love, and remain hopeful in the face of persistent injustice, we’ll reflect on resilience not as stoic endurance but as the courageous choice to remain present, even when the world feels overwhelming. Let us reaffirm our commitment to show up, with curiosity, courage, and love for one another and the life we share.
Sunday, February 15, 11:00 a.m. – Being Embodied – Amy Day and Christine Fiorentino
Join us for a talk and meditative exploration with guest speaker Christine Fiorentino, who brings 26 years of experience as a yoga teacher and a lifelong inquiry into what it means to embody spiritual wisdom in daily life and relationships. About six years into her teaching, Christine felt called toward a deeper understanding of lived, embodied practice. This led her to a Berkeley-based spiritual school devoted to expressing our deepest nature, where she has been a member for the past 20 years. Together we will explore what embodiment truly means—how to return to our bodies and hearts with stability and care amid reactivity, tension, and overwhelming emotions—through guided reflection, experiential practice, and compassionate insight.
Sunday, February 22, 11:00 a.m. – Love at the Center: A Stone Soup Experience – Amy Day
This Sunday, we will move beyond words and into practice as we live our Unitarian Universalist values through small, meaningful acts of service. Together we will pack lunches for our unhoused neighbors, write letters of care to children in Gaza, and engage in other tangible expressions of love that help seed the world we long to inhabit. In these simple yet substantive actions, we affirm that compassion is something we express, not just something we believe in. We will conclude our sacred time together with a community potluck. Please bring a simple dish to share as we continue building connection and care around the table.
