Sunday Services

Sunday, May 5, 11:00 a.m. — Celebrating Beltane — Yemaya Kimmel, Bridgette Garuti, Amy Day

Join us for this all ages, multi-sensory celebration and observance of the fecund energies of Spring! We’ll work with Earth-based rituals and songs as well as a community art experience and offering. Weather permitting, we’ll host this joyous experience outside to take in the full delights this dawning of the season provides.

Sunday, May 12, 11:00 a.m. — The Spirit of Motherhood — Josh Charles

Moms are magical. They are our first connection to another human being, and they have an impact on the rest of our lives. Many of the gifts they bring to the world are not limited to mothers, though, and when we find ways to answer the call, we can all bring healing and nurturing to the world. Let us all learn new ways to step up and pay it forward.

Sunday, May 19, 11:00 a.m. — Choral Service with Guests A Company of Voices, directed by Elisabeth Harrington — Ann Kilby

Through a program of radiant musical offering, we are invited to ponder and celebrate! All present will be invited to sing UU favorites and some new songs together in this interactive celebration of Word and Song.

A Company of Voices, co-directed by Elisabeth Harrington and Stacy Young, will share songs from their spring concert “Poetry Into Music.” Singers will read the poems aloud and talk about how words and music together have a special power to engage our senses and awaken our hearts.

Sunday, May 26, 11:00 a.m. — Stone Soup Sunday — Josh Charles and Rebekah Paez

Join us for this multigenerational celebration of community and all the gifts we each bring to the collective. In partnership with Arcata House, we will prepare meals for those experiencing homelessness in our region. We will send them off with a burbling and delicious pot of “stone soup” made from the ingredients that we bring forth. Bring an offering of chopped vegetables —from your garden, farm-share, or your neighborhood market – to contribute to this sacred and communal feast. We will share stories and songs and sit down to break bread together. Let service be our prayer.
