We are Heretics! Universal Salvation
August 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person
Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
This heresy, that all are saved and reconciled, gives us the second half of our name. But what does it mean for us today to hold this? How might it shape our work for justice, and also our personal lives? How might it make us uncomfortable, and ask us to do hard things? How might it ground us in being not about politics, but about religion?
We will share the plate with RAMP
RAMP is a non-profit, non-residential Center for Independent Living (CIL) that emulates the Independent Living Philosophy with a mission to build an inclusive community that encourages individuals with disabilities to reach their full potential. RAMP services enrich individual’s lives. Oftentimes we meet with individuals who have experienced a traumatic or life-changing event (i.e. child recently diagnosed with a disability, accident resulting in permanent disability, etc.). These life-changing events can leave an individual reeling, as well as their family, and not knowing where to turn or what to do. It is this grassroots effort and philosophy to “meet someone where they are at” that drives this organization. Click Here to Donate
Board Meeting

UU 20/30s Group
Join Us This Sunday at 11:30 a.m. in the Youth Room
UU2030 is a small group for adults in their 20s and 30s who are looking for spiritual and religious community, without the dogma and baggage that can come with traditional religion. We can provide that home here!
We are looking to build a faith community and possibly other social events like potlucks, holiday celebrations, and board game nights.
We hope to see you!
