Love is the Spirit of this Church, and Service is its Prayer.
WORSHIP SERVICE
"Love at the Center"
Sunday, July 20, 2025, 10:50 am
Rev. Laura Shennum, Minister of Congregational Life, preaching
What does it mean to center love in our UU values? A group of us have been reading the essays in the book "Love At The Center." This morning, we will explore some of the themes from those essays.

Explore our YouTube Channel for an array of inspiring music, powerful sermons, and engaging programming that appeals to all interests!

Pod and Country
In episode 4, we continue in the best tradition Unitarian Universalism to take it to the streets. We speak with Bill Ong Hing, a leading voice in the struggle to ensure that immigrants are treated with dignity and fairness under the law that serves all of us regardless of our immigration status. Bill is a law professor and Associate Dean at the University San Francisco and is the founding director of the Immigration and Deportation Defense Clinic. We also have a delightful conversation with the Rev. Stacy Craig who serves as the minister to both the Chequamegon Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Wisconsin and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Chico in northern California. As with every episode, we offer a bit of comedy (hard to do in these times!), poetry and music. Come on in!
