Invitation to Serve

Life is richest when it includes service and the sense that there is lasting purpose in life. Today we explore what service means, formal and informal ways of serving and why service is necessary in our personal lives

Invitation to Grow

Invitation to Community

What does it mean to choose to be in community?  What does it mean to join a religious group and what can if offer you?  We’ll consider community, its strengths and challenges in our service today

A Bridge of Clouds

Love of nature and science created a respectful friendship between two very different men of different class and temperaments. Such friendships can be possible and deeply satisfying if we allow them to matter in life. The practice of generous friendship is our exploration today.

What are You Looking For?

It is often said that life is about the journey, not the destination.  But yet, we often find ourselves seeking the things, people and situations we believe will fulfill us, only to be disappointed.  What are the costs of our searching?  Is there another way?

Practicing Commonwealth

We are all citizens of Virginia. On the anniversary of Virginia’s beginning, we imagine Virginia’s present and ask our- selves a few questions about what might be. 

Ready to Welcome

Rev. Jeanne had a lot of company this summer and she reflects upon some ancient Jewish teaching about the difference between wanting company and being ready to welcome.

Warts and All

In order to be a truly welcoming community, we need to learn to love all people no matter who they are. Walter Clark talks about the concept of grace and loving difficult people. 

The More Things Change

Unitarian Universalists have historically been agents of change. While we should be proud of our history, there is still much work to do.
