WORSHIP SERVICE
“The Excellence of a Horse:
A Lunar New Year Celebration”
Sunday, February 22, 10:50 am, 2026
Rev. Seanan Fong, Affiliated
Community Minister, preaching
​
As we welcome the Year of the Horse, we celebrate an animal that has long represented “excellence” in Chinese folklore and around the world—admired for speed, agility, or endurance. In this new year of intentions and resolutions, we might also ask ourselves, what makes a human excellent? Is it our abilities, our accomplishments—or is it the quality of our character? Across cultures, from Chinese to Greek philosophy, thinkers have returned to the same conviction: What makes up human excellence is the inner strength of our values. Join Rev. Seanan Fong, UUSF Affiliated Community Minister and founder of the San Francisco Contemplarium, in this season of new beginnings as we set our intentions for the kind of people we aspire to be.
