Every one of you may have a different idea of what you would like to see resurrected — in our world, our lives, and our country. Let’s explore together what a resurrection would look like and how we can make it happen.

The people of Oregon passed a referendum that allows psilocybin mushrooms to be used for treatment and spiritual purposes in Oregon. Psychedelic mushrooms will be highly regulated and yet will soon be fairly available. What does that have to do with you? For one thing, UU ministers such as our visiting minister, Rev. Katie Larsell, are training to become licensed guides. Why would a minister want to guide people on trips? Come and find out how mushrooms and religion go together.
There are a million messages about the importance of love in popular songs, movies/T.V. and woven into our wisdom traditions. We all agree that love is the answer, and all we need is love. However, what does science say about love? Some of the answers explain why the COVID-19 pandemic has been so hard on us and what we can do about it. Elements of the service will be dedicated to recognizing and celebrating Juneteenth.
When we walk through a forest we sense that trees are sacred. For most of us, it’s an intuition based on how we feel in their presence: calm, humbled, and awed by their beauty. However – scientists are discovering so many wonderful and mysterious facts about trees that confirm and explain their sacred dimensions. We knew it all along; now we can start to answer why.
What is your feminist history? No matter your generation – boomer, Gen X, Millennial, Gen Z – each has a story to tell. It’s surprising how much progress we have made in women’s rights – and how much more we have to go. Katie is a UU community minister with the Eastrose Fellowship in Gresham, OR.

One of the questions routinely asked in Science Fiction is “what is the difference between a robot and a human being?” One answer is that humans experience ‘awe’ and robots do not. This sermon explores the spiritual emotion of awe, which connects us to big truths about life and our place in it. Our popular pulpit guest is a community minister with Eastrose Fellowship Unitarian Universalists in Gresham, Oregon.
Old sources of wisdom were the elders of one’s community, lessons from observing the natural world and a few important texts. Katie returns to our pulpit with a provocative question: Where do we find wisdom now?
