"Hell No I Won't Go" April 3, 2016
Lisa Reitzes
Passover is a ritual commemoration that is fundamentally about the Spring Equinox, about renewal and liberation from what binds us and holds us back from experiencing freedom and transcendence. It is an inspiring story of collective faith that predates the written record of the Hebrews, and which has shaped the path of the oppressed and justice-seekers for centuries. The power of Passover is in its invitation to contemplate where each us finds the courage to seek transformation - out there or right here.

"Salvation? For Unitarian Universalists?" February 21, 2016
Rev. Linda Kaufman
Sometimes in our Unitarian Universalist arrogance we dismiss the words of our Christian heritage without ever exploring what they mean literally and figuratively, what they might mean for our modern UU lives. Words like "salvation, atonement, redemption, sin." We will explore the idea of salvation, which for Unitarian Universalism could be understood as finding both one's calling and one's community.
