November 2, 2025:
Day of the Dead

Rev. Drew Frantz
This Sunday we perform our yearly ritual of honoring the ancestors. In keeping with the various traditions of All Souls Day, Samhain, and Día de Muertos, we take this day to remember those who have died and to welcome them as living spirits. What do we have to learn from the ancestors? How can we keep alive their memory and honor them?

God is a River

Rev. Drew Frantz
In Unitarian Universalism we encompass many beliefs about the nature of – and the existence of – the divine. Does God exist? Where and what is God? One vision of the divine, blending Religious Naturalism and Taoism, is that God is a river. Let’s see how this idea challenges or reinforces your own notion of mystery and of ultimate reality.

Guest at Your Table

Rev. Drew Frantz
Guest at Your Table is a program of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee to partner with human rights organizations domestically and abroad. This year Guest at Your Table supports an LGBTQ+ asylum house in Pennsylvania; a human rights organization in Central America; a commune for Haitian refugees in the Dominican Republic; and a river defender in Honduras.  In our worship service we celebrate the good work being done; and we recognize that together we create greater justice and greater joy.

Prophetic Witness: Mariann Budde
Rev. Drew Frantz
Bishop Mariann Budde, leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and the Washington National Cathedral, is well-known for a passionate sermon she delivered at Donald Trump’s inauguration this year. Her example inspires those who would speak truth to power.  Bishop Budde’s other published writings are also inspiring, making her a model of faith and wisdom.

Siding with Love: Fred Small
Norma Bailey
Fred Small, a minister at Arlington Street Church in Boston, shares in his homily that the essence of Unitarian Universalism is siding with love in everything we say or do. We will also acknowledge two significant days where we can share our love – October 11, National Coming Out Day, and October 13, Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Prophetic Witness: Imara Jones
Rev. Drew Frantz 
Imara Jones presented the Ware Lecture at General Assembly this past June – the keynote address of our national gathering which boasts past speakers including Mary Oliver and Martin Luther King. Imara Jones is a trans woman and an award-winning journalist. Her talk on how trans people are perceived in America, socially and politically, is both inspiring and sobering. This Sunday we reflect on her message and its meaning for us.

Cultivating Compassion
Rev. Drew Frantz
This Sunday we explore several aspects of compassion, including having compassion for ourselves and for others–including difficult people. Our universalist theology teaches that the primary characteristic of God is not judgment but compassion. How can we cultivate greater compassion within ourselves?
