Guest minister: Rev. Julie-Ann Silberman-Bunn #SundayService #UUCGL

To kick off the month of Earth Day and nature-based spirituality focus, we have the amazing opportunity to reflect on the eclipse of 2024, which will be the next day. Even though we understand celestial phenomena scientifically, cultivating awe, wonder and humility is an important part of caring enough about our planet to save it. #2024eclipse #SundayService #unitarianuniversalism #MariaMitchell

We celebrate the resurrecting power of love this Easter Sunday.

We are thrilled to welcome Oakland-based, Melanie DeMore, a three-time Grammy-nominated vocal activist who will unite our voices in song during our UUCGL Sunday service. Melanie is a singer/composer, choral conductor, music director, and vocal activist who believes in the power of voices raised together. #MelanieDeMore #UUCGL #SundayService

St. Patrick’s Day is a perfect Sunday for reflections on the green: new spring growth, and the green money that represents the way we spend our lives in receiving and giving, earning and spending. —Rev. Dr. Victoria Weinstein, Worship Leader

Spiritual wholeness, emotional health and physical well-being are all connected. Our ministers reflect in a dialogue sermon on our O.W.L. (Our Whole Lives) sexuality curriculum and the lifelong project of integrating our minds, bodies, and souls with our deepest values. —Rev. Dr. Victoria Weinstein & Rev. Chris Scheller

We hear and learn about the great players of history on a regular basis. How does this emphasis on heroes and celebrities shape our sense of history and our contribution to it? —Rev. Dr. Victoria Weinstein, Worship Leader

Romantic love focuses the lover on one beloved person. Agape love focuses the lover on the common good, is divine in origin, and is the form of love that Martin Luther King, Jr. described as “an overflowing love which seeks nothing in return.” — Rev. Dr. Victoria Weinstein, Worship Leader

It's a good time of year to reflect deeply on the many ways we experience and practice love. Delight offers one such doorway, through opening our hearts to connection. Join us as we explore this practice and find inspiration in American poet Ross Gay's The Book of Delights. —Rev. Chris Scheller, Worship Leader
