October 18, 2026: Rediscovering Humility

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Humility is an important characteristic of spiritual and psychological maturity. Yet it is often misunderstood in ways that cause people to diminish themselves and their own light, joy, and confidence. How can we understand humility in ways that are life honoring?

  • Heartland String Band Practice - Fellowship Hall

    Thursday, October 15, 5:30 PM - 6:45 PM
    The Heartland String Band, a part of our music program, was founded by Carol Marks in August of 2001, but because of Covid they have not been able to play together in a while. Sally McGuire has graciously agreed to revive this merry band. The band will practice from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month in Fellowship Hall (latecomers welcome). They play old-time and Celtic music as well as folks songs, and all lovers of this music are welcome. Dulcimers, fiddles, cellos, pennywhistles, guitars, banjos, mandolins, even accordions!

  • UU Choir Rehearsal - Meeting Room

    Thursday, October 15, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
    Choir schedule (starting August 8):
    Thursday evenings: 7:00-8:30. Childcare available upon request.
    Sunday mornings: 8:45 am rehearsal for 9:30 am service, 10:45 am rehearsal for 11:30 am service. Childcare always available.

    Choir exercises body, mind, and spirit. Enhances your vocal fluency and keeps your voice young and flexible. Engages deep listening. Improves posture and lung capacity. Calms and focuses the mind (you won't have time for any other worries during rehearsal). Gives you the best seat in the house for the children's moment. And occasionally puts you smack in the middle of a masterpiece!
