  • Real Transformation, Sarah Cledwyn, June 14, 2026
    2026/06/14

    What does it mean to transform ourselves or our ways of being? What factors support such complete change from one thing to another? These are questions that have fueled spiritual seeking, activism, institutions and our own personal lives. Everyone who has tried to change a deeply held habit will know there's more to changemaking and transformation than making a simple decision. Come explore the ways of change, the realities of life and our practice of evolution and growth.

  • A Good Goodbye, Amy Brunell, May 31, 2026
    2026/05/31

    How do we leave well when it's time to say goodbye? Life is filled with transitions, and not all of them give us the closure we need. Sometimes goodbyes are rushed or incomplete, leaving us to gather the quiet pieces of grief left behind. As I offer my final service at Unity Church, I feel called to honor this moment with intention and grace. Together, we will create space for reflection, gratitude, and love that continues beyond parting. Come ready to see differently.​​ ​​

    This podcast begins with a reflection by Worship Associate Dick Buggs.

  • Speaking Forbidden Tongues, Rev. KP Hong, May 24, 2026
    2026/05/24

    Amid unraveling certainties and cascading crises, we witness the hollow grammar of innocence coming undone all around us. Euphemisms that anesthetize harm, official scripts that avoid responsibility, curated speech that protects us from truth and obstructs change. Yet within that collapse, the Spirit stirs, teaching the church to speech that opens memory, expands imagination, dissolves borders, and draws different people into a belonging and intimacy we once feared. Pentecost is the refusal to speak a world alone, insisting upon a new beginning born from speaking a world together. Come ready to see differently.​​ ​​

    This podcast begins with a reading of The Acts of the Apostles 2:1-12 , continues with a reflection by Worship Associate Ollie Stocker, and finishes with a sermon by Rev. KP Hong.

  • We Bloom Together, Flower Celebration Sunday, May 17, 2026
    2026/05/17

    Unity's annual Flower Ceremony was developed over a century ago by Unitarians in Prague who created a ritual to affirm the beauty and diversity of community in a time of rising authoritarianism and fear. As we find ourselves in a world that feels hauntingly similar, let us celebrate the traditions that remind us we are in this together, believing in mutual flourishing and universal belonging.

    This podcast is a reflection offered by Rev. Shay MacKay, Rev. KP Hong, Amy Brunell, Laura Park, and Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair.

  • Belonging In, Belonging To, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, May 10, 2026
    2026/05/10

    Who, or what, determines belonging? On Mother's Day, we'll talk about what it means to be claimed by another person, a family, or a faith. In a place where all of who we are is welcome, how do we call ourselves to bring our best selves?

    This podcast begins with a reflection by Worship Associate Meg Arnosti.

  • All of Us, Redux, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, April 26, 2026
    2026/04/26

    Coming of Age Sunday celebrates the signature yearlong journey of our ninth grade youth, transitioning from the inherited faith of childhood to the adult journey of faith, and marked by youth sharing their statement of faith or credo. Coming of Age gives us a glimpse of what is to come: a Unitarian Universalism that continues to embrace our vision of a community based not on shared beliefs, but a commitment to each other, and what we can do together.

    This podcast begins with a reflection by Drew Danielson, Coordinator of Youth and Campus Ministries.

  • Open Eyes, Open Heart, Amy Brunell, April 19, 2026
    2026/04/19

    What if the most radical spiritual act is looking closer? Religious Naturalism is a faith practice that finds the sacred not beyond the natural world but entwined into the very core of it. It is the practice of interdependence. When we ground ourselves to look closely at what is actually real, something unexpected happens — call it reverence, call it wonder, call it joy. Come ready to see differently.

    This podcast begins with a reflection by Worship Associate Charlie Caswell.
