"All that you touch, You Change. All that you Change, Changes You. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change."  These words open Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, a fictional text that "began" barely two months ago.  How do we, as members of a living Unitarian Universalist tradition, embrace and engage our role in an evolving world?  Amidst deep troubles and uncertainty, how do we care for one another and faithfully put our beliefs into action?  How are we called to transform our communities into ones deeply rooted in reverence and love?  Join Rev. Ranwa Hammamy, MDUUC's Affiliated Community Minister and the Side With Love's Congregational Justice Organizer at the UUA, for a service on the world we are called to create.

How is our engagement with the defense of our democracy a chance to practice some core spiritual skills? Join Rev. Leslie Takahashi for this service and help welcome Jace Saplan, our music director.

Come and meet Rose Riedel, Intern Minister, as she introduces herself to the congregation from the pulpit for the first time and shares a bit about her history, how she found Unitarian Universalism, and how she has come to understand spirituality. Rose will discuss how she has grappled with her spiritual and UU identities, and her ongoing struggle to answer the question, “What is spirituality?” for herself.

Hold onto your hymnals, because this Sunday we’re unlocking the spirit of connection in true Unitarian Universalist fashion—with heart, humor, and a hint of holy hoopla! Join us as we officially install our new Associate Minister, Rev. Rodney Lemery, who, rumor has it, can brew a mean pot of coffee! Through meaningful rituals and soul-stirring musical interludes, we’ll celebrate this exciting new chapter in our community. Whether you come for the spirituality or just the snacks, we promise a service that's as warm and inviting as your favorite cozy sweater. Don’t miss it!
