WORSHIP SERVICE
“Faith In Times of Crisis”
Sunday, October 19, 2025, 10:50 am
Rev. Dr. John Buehrens, preaching
Our forebears in liberal religion here in San Francisco endured crises long before the present one we now face. As we continue to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of UUSF, our former Senior Minister and resident historian will share stories of faith and endurance. The service will include a visit from one of the most colorful characters in our history: Emperor Norton! After the service, copies of John's history of UUSF, A Religious Center with a Civic Circumference: Unitarians in San Francisco Since 1850, will be available for sale and signing during another celebratory coffee hour.
​​
Join us for a festive luncheon and inspiring services as we honor 175 years of spirit, song, and solidarity!

THE FLAME
UUSF Weekly Newsletter
October 15, 2025
The Flame, our weekly newsletter, is published every Wednesday! We cover Sunday services as well as recent UUSF news and upcoming events. On Fridays, we also send a brief email outlining the weekend's events. If you send us an email at flame@uusf.org The Flame will be sent directly to your inbox.
With this episode we conclude our first season by talking with Bruce Neuburger, activist, educator, and author of “Lettuce Wars: Ten Years of Work and Struggle in the Fields of California” and “Postcards to Hitler,” which draws on his family’s extraordinary history of resistance to the Nazi regime and reminds us of the importance of confronting hatred and injustice in our own time. We also include a satirical sketch (just a hint: she's back...) and a musical segment. We end with a conversation with the podcast creators as they reflect on the season: what they learned, their favorite moments, and what they will take with them from this work. We hope you enjoyed all of our episodes and would love to hear from you at podandcountry@uusf.org. For now, come and join us for our season finale. As always, the lights are on...come on in!
