Luminescence: Trusting the Light Within
Join us this Sunday for our annual celebration of Luminescence, a Service that honors the light within each of us, and the source of the light within all. When we trust the light within and allow it to shine forth unimpeded, it is our collective light that will shine through even the darkest darkness.
Luminescence is a multigenerational Worship Service. All ages are welcome in the Sanctuary space to celebrate.
Inhabiting Our Freedom Dreams
Side with Love’s “30 Days of Love” have pointed out that there are so many ways to embody Love and to practice the new world that we seek to build. In this service, we try out several of these practices, and we leave with a promise to take at least one new action, large or small, that embodies our commitment to the worthiness and dignity of all. Please bring a journal (or something to write on) and a pen (or something to write with) to this service! Join us to experience the joy of being part of the resistance!
Blessing of the Plough
This service highlights reflection, renewal, and preparation for the seasons ahead. Bring tools, seeds, and symbols of your work, as we honor the land, our labor, and the connections that nourish us. Something transformative awaits.
The Blessing of the Plough will be a participatory, interactive Service.
What Happens Once We Belong?
Finding a place where we belong – where we feel seen and heard and loved for our full selves – is such a relief! It’s one of our lifesaving missions here at UUCG, something we’re creating moment by moment, mistakes and learnings and growth included. But what happens once we find that sense of belonging? Is it all rest and relaxation? Or does belonging ask us to expand even more?
Shaping Our Story: We Have a Choice
On the eve of the presidential inauguration and of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we pause to ask, What story will we help shape for our country and our community? How do we embody our values as we participate in the work of the world?
Beginnings, Endings, and Love’s Unfoldings : The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Using a creation story and referencing others, this service is about how viewing the past and future through the lens of unfolding Love changes our stories.

Living Love Through the Practice of Presence and Compassion
Think about a time in your life when the principles became real through your living experience. When did you receive or give life in a way that changed your life as well as someone else’s?
Room for a Little One, Room for All! The Heart of the Christmas Story
We celebrate this Christmas Eve with a story that includes everyone–all the animals, all the children, all our own hearts and spirits. With story, song, and candlelight, we welcome this holy night afresh into the multicolored tapestry of our spiritual lives.
Creating a Web to Hold Us: Being Present with Others
Almost all of the December holidays have a similar theme at their very core: Belonging to a healthy, loving community replaces fear with hope and purpose. Where and how do we create micro- and macro-communities of care by showing up for others? And what joy will be reborn in us when we do? Come celebrate the gifts of this season simply through showing up for each other this week!
