Previous Services

We offer two ways to experience past services.

Watch the full service on our YouTube channel, or listen to just the sermon on the ‘First U Think’ podcast.

The Ontological, The Semantic, and the Tribal

Some times we have differing perspectives on what exists in reality. Some times, instead, our difference is over what words mean. And sometimes the disagreement isn’t about either of those.

Zoom at 9:30 a.m. CT.

Zoom may not be available for this event. Please contact Bill Paxson if you have an interest in joining the Zoom team.

Who Are We Now?

As Unitarian Universalism grows and changes (in the midst of a wider culture also growing and changing), every generation or so we need to re-articulate our covenant to express who we are now as well as to put into the terms most salient to the current time, who we always have been.

Forum: Covenanting with the Wider UU World – Proposed Revision of Article II

Delegates to UUA General Assembly 2024 will be voting on the proposed revision of Article II for the UUA Bylaws. The Adult Programming Team is providing a time for congregants to share their reflections regarding Rev. Garmon’s sermon; to ask questions, and discuss how the proposed revision of Article II could impact our congregation. Members of the Board of Trustees will also be available to share their thoughts about Article II and answer questions. This link will send you to our new page on our church website related to this topic. Here you will find detailed information about the Proposed Revision to Article II.

Choose Abundance

It’s easy to look at our lives and focus on scarcity, on what is in short supply. And this can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We always have the option to choose abundance.

Forum: Polk County Conservation Water Quality

Did you know there is a water quality monitoring site in our creek that runs through the church property? Volunteers and Polk County Conservation staff collect water quality data on this and over 70 sites throughout Polk County. Ginny Malcomson, Polk County Conservation Water Quality Coordinator, will present the history of the project, water quality findings, local watershed events and opportunities.
