Following Saturday’s community open house and evening celebration, this morning Revs. Byron Carrier, Fred and Margaret Keip trace the journey that brought Unitarian Universalists here in Grants Pass to this landmark achievement: a full time fellowship home all our own.
Our Mothers, Ourselves
This Mothers Day service features all of us who have stories to tell: yearnings for the mothering we longed for or wished to be; and reflections on how mothers and mothering have blessed us.
Joy of Sisterhood
The women of Radiant River will share their stories of the way in which the power of sisterhood has changed each of their lives individually and how this has rippled out into their families and the community at large.
Our Outreach offering benefits the Maslow Project, serving Josephine County children and their families.
Recognizing Love
The presence of love can take many forms in our lives, and we can choose to unlock its power. Using stories, speech, and song, Anton and Laura explore ways in which we may recognize and access this creative force for greater good.
Following the service, and time for refreshment and conversation,
they will offer a concert for all who would like to stay.

We celebrate Earth Day with Chas Rogers, who will present a slide show on Rain Gardens and will share our Sustainability group’s Bioswale project at RCC.
Our 4th Sunday special offering aids our Homeless Teen Backpack Project.
Hope: a Message for Easter
Is hope just a platitude that keeps us from noticing bad times, or is hope actually part of the solution when things are tough? Our guest
minister, Rev. Sarah Schurr, will take a look at the subject of hope, especially hope in this Easter season. Rev. Sarah works for the Pacific Western Region of the Unitarian Universalist Association, is based in Portland, and is our congregation’s primary contact from the UUA.
