Among Unitarians’ seven foundational Principles, the second Principle affirms our belief in “justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.” In turn, these values can help mutual trust flourish among people. In this way, trust is intertwined with the values celebrated by the above Principle. What helps cultivate trust between people? What does it mean to be trustworthy? What factors stand in the way of trust? What are the similarities and differences between mutual trust between individuals and collective societies trusting each other, and how important are they? Come and participate in exploring this topic of trust on a number of levels.
A singing service. Come join us and raise your voice in song.
How did religion start, and why? How did it develop, and where is it going?
Children’s Program
In our Universalist roots lies a conviction that humans are naturally religious — whether believers or unbelievers. Recent scientific studies show the role of human emotions in the religious impulse.

There is power in a promise and it is a foundation of being a Unitarian. We keep our seven principles and we make commitments. As we start this new year of Sunday Services what commitments do we need to renew to ourselves and our community. We will explore promises as part of our journey as a faith community.
True giving comes from the same place inside you as your deepest happiness. They are inexplicably intertwined. This homily will explore what your generosity does for you and your community.
Emerson, our Unitarian predecessor, encourages us to ‘give thanks continuously’. Thanksgiving Sunday is an appropriate time to count our blessings. Join us as we cultivate an attitude of gratitude!
Join Rosemary as she explores life’s ups and downs through the lens of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. The characters and story are rich with redemption and forgiveness, reflection and new beginnings. We are all on a metaphorical journey, some like Harold are trying to save someone, others looking to figure out who they are, and some just trying to keep it together. It’s never too late or too early to embark on a new journey.
In an inclusive and family-friendly sacred song circle, Barbara will teach us chants from around the world. Barbara has taught sacred song to the Vancouver Island Unitarian Church, The West Shore Unitarian Congregation and gives a service once a month at the Salt Spring Island Unitarian Fellowship. She was in the first graduating class of the renowned Community Choir Leadership Training program, offered by the leaders of the Gettin’ Higher Choir. This will be a very uplifting and joyful service, don’t miss it!
Where is the line that separates the biblical injunction against suicide from respecting a person’s integrity and rational choice? Discussions of capital punishment and physician-assisted suicide rarely mention the decision to self-deliver when life becomes unbearable. Award-winning documentary “How to Die in Oregon” (available at the public library) deals directly with euthanasia. In today’s homily, speaker Peter Scales hopes to illuminate the morality and legality of self-delivery.
We will look at Tolerance and Acceptance as they relate to our Unitarian and world history. How do these concepts look in today’s world and what do you think about them?
