The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia

Four Sources

Our faith tradition prioritizes spiritual deepening and engagement in our personal beliefs and values, but we don’t often talk much about how to actually go about the search for meaning. Methodist John Wesley’s teachings provide an intriguing entry point for this conversation. 

Speakers: Erika Chavarria, Linda Adcox-Kimmel, Michael Adcock, Michael Phillips, Regina Verow, Rev. Lisa Bove Kemper and the UUCC Chalice Choir.

Belonging

Community Love Letters

Let’s put our heads and hearts together and consider how we’ll show up and share the love with UUCC and its people… the ones already here and the ones yet to walk through our doors (virtual or literal). Join us as we put love into action through sharing love letters to UUCC.

Speakers ~ Kelli Danaker, Lisa Marini, Michael Adcock, Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper, Steve Parr and the UUCC Chalice Choir

Speakers ~ Alex Cauthen-Zach, Kelli Danaker, Michael Adcock, Regina Verow, Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper and members of the UUCC Chalice Choir

 

Sorry Not Sorry

Our recent exploration of the history and practice of covenant is only one part of the picture. The relational promises that undergird our Unitarian Universalist community are maintained and repaired when we practice accountability. But what does true accountability mean, and how does it apply to a religious community?

Speakers: Betsy Osterman, Kelli Danaker, Meagan Lopes, Michael Adcock, Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper and Valerie Hsu

 

Relational Promises

Unitarian Universalism is a covenantal tradition rather than a creedal one, which means that we are held together not by our beliefs but by our relationships. A covenant is a promise and a practice, a living document, and an invitation to participate. UUCC being in covenant is a concept that we all must learn and practice. 

Speakers: Kelli Danaker, Laurie Coltri, Michael Adcock. Michael Phillips, Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper and Tom Benjamin

 

Why Not a Star?

Epiphany is the celebration of the wise ones’ arrival with gifts for the infant Jesus after they followed the star over hill and dale. The first days of January are a great time to consider our own gifts and guiding stars as well as our intentions for the new year.
