Watch a video about our Faith

If you would like to learn more about Unitarian Universalism, you may enjoy watching our new video.

In "Voices of a Liberal Faith," members and ministers share their thoughts on worship and fellowship, explain the goals of religious education, explore the historic roots of our religion, and celebrate the spirit of social justice that inspires our faith.

 

On the Mission
Reverend Chip's Weekly Column

A courageous and watchful baker heard the Turks tunneling under the walls of the city, and so the armies of Buda foiled the plan, and saved the town from being captured. A modest man, the baker did not want fame or fortune--he only wanted the rights to bake a pastry commemorating the event. He created a flaky roll in the same shape as the crescent moon on the Turkish invaders' flags.  continued...

Earth Day Redux

As you may have heard, the Traverse City Earth Day parade was postponed on account of weather (for the first time in 20 years)!

The parade will be held this Saturday, May 2, beginning at Central Grade School at 1:00 p.m. Participants will gather at the school at noon. Unfortunately, both Rev. Chip and I have prior commitments for that day. If you would like to be the gathering person for the UUCGT entry in the parade, give me a call! I have about a dozen signs that the kids made in RE depicting suggestions for reducing carbon footprint, plus the beautiful 350 quilt to carry.    continued,,, 

 

 

Upcoming Services

Sunday, June 14 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at 10 AM
“Two Fish in One Bowl?“
Rev. Chip
The line has been blurred: many animals do things that were once associated only with humans, and human behavior is increasingly understood in terms of biology—our animal nature. This is important, and probably good, news.

Sunday, June 21 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at 10 AM
“Like My Father?”
Rev. Chip
Are you like your father? Do you like your father? We'll honor Father's Day, and explore one of the most difficult—and misunderstood—jobs in the world.

Sunday, June 28 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at 10 AM
TBA
Some of our friends from the UU Congregation of Petoskey will speak.

Sunday, July 5 — ONE SERVICE ONLY at 10 AM
“Hippyville and Transcendence: The highways and alleys of my search for the feminine”
Misty Sheehan
I spent the last three years in San Francisco at the California Institute for Integral Studies asking the question: "Were women's voices important in traditional Hinduism?" I found that, because of the openness in Hinduism to each person's individual path, women played a role in the promulgation of Hindu philosophical ideals to the devotee.
