Title or Theme: What Will You Carry? (also, a new member ceremony today)
Speaker: Rev. Amy McCormick
Worship Associate:  Marsha Donahue

The Rev. Douglas Taylor once gave a sermon titled; Healing Your Religious Past. He said, “Often when we have left one religion and find ourselves in another, we are asked to make a full break with all that had been. In Unitarian Universalism, we strive, instead, for integration; to acknowledge the good and the bad, to endure what has been, that we may retain what is still precious… In the end, it is less about what you left behind, all about what you still want to carry…” On this New Member Sunday, I think we can explore this idea no ...

RE & Children’s Programs

For Families with Children

      We have a busy and fun Religious Exploration program for children. On Sundays, two adults lead a group from the sanctuary to the classroom area downstairs. You are welcome to go with your child to help them settle in, or let them go downstairs with the group.      Activities change week-to-week, usually including a craft or movement activity tied to the theme of the worship service or the season. Toys and books are also available.     Famiies can also listen to the service in our nursery room downstairs if that works best for your family.      Children are also very welcome to remain upstairs if they prefer, either in a seat, or utilizing our Children's Corner. We also have a youth group for Middle and High Schoolers. If you have any interest in joining, just ask Cayla Miller or Finn ... continued

Pastor's Message

      Posted on: Saturday, September 5, 2026
Dear UUCB,

The Soul Matters Theme for the month of November is “Healing”. I already find a prayer whispering up within me. May we turn our attention to the practice of mending. Let us give what we can to the wounds within and around us that need our tending. May wholeness be our goal, and grief be our guide. We are a part of the cycles and seasons. Even now I watch a few brilliant red and orange leaves float to the ground, noting the bare branches above where just yesterday there was an abundance of color filtering the sunlight. I feel myself quieting and slowing as fall deepens its winter preparation. I invite you to reflect on what is needed right now. Wha ... (continued)
