For most of our worship services beginning in the spring of 2020, we have video recordings of the full worship service and of just the sermon available for you to watch.
Characters on the Couch
Led by: Katie Resendiz
Worship Associate: Owen Lifshitz & Gio Palumbo
Music: Benjie Messer
There is nothing to be learned from children's television. Cookie monster, Elmo and their friends have no spiritual message for you, and going to counseling isn't useful at all for our younger generation. Join us as we share how the youth of UUCP can prove us wrong.
Do Ask, Do Tell
Led by: Rev. Christine Dance & Major Margie Witt
Worship Associate: John Palumbo
Music: LGBTQ anthems with UUCP Choir
Major Margaret Witt was responsible for bringing down the U.S. military's anti-gay "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy, and also happens to be a close friend of Rev. Christine's. Join us to hear how she found a new purpose in fighting against discrimination, and to think about the work we have left to do. Immediately following the service, we will have our Mid-Year Congregational Update.
A New Moon
Led by: Rev. Patrice Curtis
Worship Associate: John LaBarbera
Music: Chamber music with Urban Nocturnes
You are co-creating the universe, communities, and each other’s lives: who are you?
My Body Isn’t Broken, Your Faith Is
Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Gary Ezzell
Music: UUCP Choir
Ancient religions have taught us so many harmful things about disabled bodies being "broken" and needing to be healed. Like many things from our old beliefs, this is one that needs to be actively explored and challenged. We will explore what religions have taught about disabilities and how we can reform them to recognize the wholeness and worth of every single person, as our faith calls us to do.
MLK Day: Prophetic Ministry Is Always Pastoral
Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Sam Kirkland
Music: Drummunity and Friends
On this Martin Luther King weekend, we will explore how being a prophetic and deed-oriented people is always rooted in pastoral actions. From creating relationships to finding opportunities to serve to random acts of kindness, learning how to be pastoral can be radical acts of our progressive faith.
How Do We Find Hope & Liberation in Judaism?
Led by: Rev. Christine Dance
Worship Associate: Jon Palumbo
Music: Jewish Songs with UUCP Choir
In the fourth of this year's Sermon Series, we will explore how Jews find the hope of liberation in their faith. From Exodus to the Covenant with God, Judaism is rich with lessons for how we think of collective liberation.
