One service: 10:00am, in-person. Singer, writer, guitarist and UUCL’s own Andrew McKnight leads a musical exploration and meditation on finding the spark of empathy in difficult times, and how our understanding can help fuel a ‘practical hope,’ even in a society so bitterly divided. Join online here.
UUCL’s summer theme this year is Hope. Come and be in community, see friendly faces, feel welcomed, remember you are loved. Your loved ones are welcome to join our service.

Even as we navigate the daily uncertainties of pandemic life, we are bound by threads of grief and gratitude connecting across our physical isolation. Drawing lessons from our history and our ancestors, Andrew’s words and music help us reaffirm our empathy and our strength during our time of turning and metamorphosis.
Your loved ones are always welcome to join our service.ÂÂÂ

With the explosion of DNA testing for exploring genealogy and ethnicity, it seems more people than ever are devoting time and energy to answering the fundamental questions, “who am I and where did I come from?” Each of us descends from a wide web of humans, with their own powers, limitations and a life filled with their own stories. And while most of them are no longer here to tell them to us, their stories are a vital part of how we got here. Andrew shares some remarkable experiences and insights from exploring his musical ancestry.
Babysitting WILL NOT be available this Sunday during worship service. Babies and toddlers are always welcome in our sanctuary during services. Children and youth are also invited to attend this special music service with their families.
We build skyscraper forts out of the labels we use to characterize “others,” and hurl epithets and worse at “them.” Yet we are all members of the same species, live on the same planet, and have the same basic biological needs. How do we reconcile the immense barriers we’ve created between individual subsets of us and them with the basic facts of our earthly human existence?
Note: Religious Exploration is available during the service for children K-5th grade. Babysitting is available, and babies and toddlers are also welcome in our sanctuary during services.
Musical Service: It seems more people than ever are devoting time and energy to answering the fundamental questions, “who am I and where did I come from?” While our present-day relationships with family may run the gamut from complicated to painful, the fact that any of us exist at all is might be also be viewed as a mysterious miracle. An appreciation for the stories doubly-twisted into every cell of our being, and the odd and eclectic collection of saints and rogues who helped create them.
