Unitarian Universalist theology has often been described as 7 principles representing a great, marble temple, with the roof held up by three pillars. The pillars were the three of our principles about WHAT we do, while the remaining principles, pictured as the roof, were HOW we do it. The supporting pillars, the foundation of UU faith, were Respecting the Inherent Worth and Dignity of all People, Affirming Every Person’s Right to a Free and Responsible Search for Truth and Meaning, and finally, Respecting the Interdependent Web of All Existence, of which We are a Part. As we approach the Fourth of July, Independence Day, Rev. Mike looks at the concept of independence through the lens of UU faith, and especially our UU Principle regarding interdependence.

A celebration of the spiritual power of music to open our minds, hearts, and bodies through melody, rhythm, and poetry. A few OUUC members and friends identify a favorite hymn and reflect how it holds meaning for them. We’ll sing together, inviting music to deepen our personal experience of the sacred.
