We will all have the need to plan a memorial service at some point in our lives, for a family member or
close friend. This service is about ways to ensure the commemoration of a person’s life is the best
tribute it can be, by having conversations well before tragedy strikes. We will have information
available to give you guidance for when this need arises.
Rev. Jennie Barrington, leads services three Sundays each month, and we have a guest speaker,
guest minister, or Intergenerational service one or two Sundays a month.
We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and
promote:
- The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
- Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
- Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
- A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
- The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and
in society at large;
- The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
- Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
The living tradition which we share draws from many sources:
- Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which
moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold
life;
- Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and
structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
- Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
- Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors
as ourselves;
- Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of
science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
- Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and
instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
