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.
Seeking Salvation
What do UUs make of "salvation?" What might we make of the idea? If we are seeking salvation, we have questions to explore such as: salvation for whom? By whom? From what?
How Does Humanism Give Us Hope for Collective Liberation?
Rev. Christine's Worship Series for this year is about the hope of liberation in our world and what different world religions can teach us about it. We'll be starting with explaining Liberation Theology and how Humanism gives us hope for making the world more peaceful and just.
Answering the Call of Love: Why I Ran
In the run-up to the elections, we are going to hear from four amazing women (Ceyshe Napa, Anna Hernandez, Analise Ortiz and Brianna Westbrook) about why they took the courageous step to enter into Arizona politics and ran for public office. In these challenging times, they will share their personal stories for how they have hope for the future.
It’s an Odd Profession
On the day after Reverend Christine's Installation, we'll be talking about ministry, how it is not something that only ministers do, and what we can all learn from it. We will also be celebrating the 50th Ordination Anniversary of member Rev. Walt Weider and the 30th Work Anniversary of our custodian, Manuel Gomez. It will be a special Sunday.
Water Communion: Are You a Canal, a Reservoir, or a Swamp?
American author, theologian, and Civil Rights leader Howard Thurman asks us if we are canals, reservoirs or swamps. As we gear up for a new program year for the congregation and another difficult year in our country and world, we will explore these different kinds of bodies of water and forge some resiliency and hope for our year. Bring some water from your home or travels or use some that we will provide as we share in our Water Communion ritual.
We’re Still Humaning
The first sermon that Rev. Christine preached at UUCP was on "Humaning" Together, a concept that was more prescient than we knew at the time and that has been repeated often in our community. As we start our new programming year, we will explore what we've learned about humaning and how it is more important than ever.
