Families are under stress. Kids are growing up in a world that’s changing around them, and they and their caregivers are challenged to figure things out as they live their complicated lives. The celebration of “Mother’s Day” is a case in point: As UU Family Therapist William Doherty says, “We wouldn’t have Mother’s Day if everything were fine with motherhood.” With gender identity and gender roles changing, expectations about normative family structures in flux, what is the role of a progressive religious community in figuring it all out? Interim minister Rev. Lisa Romantum Schwartz will explore the topic.

Join us this Sunday morning for our May worship series: "Nurturing Faith." Worship begins at 10 a.m. in person and on Zoom.

After worship, join us for coffee and treats in the Social Hall, and check out our Faith Formation classes for Adults from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The Reflections group hosts a conversation on the sermon topic every Sunday during the Faith Formation Hour in the conference room.
