Inside Out
Sermon by Brent Holladay Marriage & Family Therapist, MDiv, MA, LMFT People have two choices for the way they want to live, either outside in or inside out. People who live from the outside in try to structure their lives to avoid pain and upset. Unfortunately, life doesn't obey us. We just don't have that much control, and a life lived this way often ends in pain and bitterness. The other way to live is from the inside out. This person develops an "internal" life, which is theirs and cannot be taken away. When life doesn't obey them, they might suffer, but they are not overthrown.  Brent Holladay

Nov 2 video now available
We are updating our video recordings of the Sunday services. The recording of Dr. McGuire's November 2 sermon, titled "Not so Different After All: Commonalities in the World's Religions" is now available on our 2025 Services page...
The sermon was the third of our fall member-requested sermon series, looking at the beauty of how the world's religions overlap and intersect. Inspired by a meaningful conversation with a group that was proselytizing in their neighborhood, Dr. McGuire explored common misconceptions about the "uniqueness" of beliefs and deconstructed the often-proposed "proof" that one belief is more accurate than the others.

What Is Unitarian Universalism?
If you'd like to get a better idea of what Unitarian Universalism is and whether our way of responsibly searching for truth and meaning might be for you, this welcome written by our Minister Emeritus, Rev. Dr. John M. Higgins, gives a quick preview: |

"Welcome to this place.
This is a place where no revealed truths are promoted and no scripture or human being accepted as infallible. It is a place for searching for truth, but we are believers.
We believe in intellectual freedom, we believe in justice, we believe in compassion, and for concern for each other and for the whole world. We believe in commitment to those ideals which make us active in the struggle for human dignity.
We are Unitarian Universalists."
