Many UUs don't have the word "sin" in their vocabulary--at least partly because "sin" has been used for so long to label activities that we don't believe are wrong. Our guest minister, Tony Larsen, will be back at UCN this Sunday to explore some of the term's meanings in the Hebrew scriptures, with an eye to finding a possible meaning for UUs today.

“The Real War on Christmas,” Rev. Scott W. Alexander preaching
December 10 at 10:00 am
MASKS OPTIONAL
Scott writes: Over the past decade or so, every December, conservative social and religious commentators in America issue angry and hysterical warnings that there is a sinister “war” being waged against Christmas by “the liberal left.” It seems to me, however, that the “real” war against Christmas – the real threat to the true meaning of the holiday -- is coming not from liberals and progressives, but from the conservatives themselves. This Sunday, let us remind our hearts about the true meaning of Jesus’ life and teachings.

The meaning of worship is
to be shaped by
what is of worth.
We gather together in spiritual community because we need constant reminders of what matters most in life. In a world of heartbreak and dehumanization, our congregations and communities call us to our better selves. We learn to live with more wisdom, more connection, and more compassion.
Our Worship Services are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our programs for all ages inspire and awaken us to our capacities to make a difference in our own lives and in the world.
