UUGP Sunday Service Committee:  Gathering of the Waters

As the summer fades and we return from travels, visits with family and friends and the adventures of the hot summer months, UUs around the country return to the formal beginning of a new church year. We invite you to bring a memento of your adventures in the form of a sample of the waters from your summer days. For some this might be water from distant lands. For others it might be the life sustaining water from your backyard well, hillside spring, or the faucet in your kitchen that brings the water of the Rogue River and its headwater’s mountain streams to our community. Let these waters be a symbol of both the miraculous life-giving systems of mother earth, and the beloved community that is our UUGP congregation.

My Experiences as an RN in the Prison System

Free to Be: Keeping Faith in Challenging Times (zoom)

After thousands of people around Los Angeles lost their homes in devastating fires, and a new authoritarian POTUS with plans for revenge was inaugurated, someone posted on Facebook that they’d tried the 2-week trial subscription to 2025 and wanted to cancel it. Funny, but sad as well — and nationally things have only gotten worse. How do we “keep hope alive” during times like this? How do we protect ourselves from despair? Can our UU ancestors offer us any clues?
