Stoicism
Rev. Lucy Bunch preaching with Worship Associate Dawn Huebner, UUSS Choir with Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva.
Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that has gained much attention in recent days. There is even a daily stoic message you can get in your inbox. We often think of stoicism as suppressing your emotions. But the philosophy goes deeper than that. Let’s explore what’s relevant and what is problematic about these ideas.
On the fifth Sunday of each month during 2026, our Community Partner offering supports the Effie Yeaw Nature Center.
After the service: Considering Membership. Contact Rev. Lucy if you are interested in attending.

The Shadow of Death and the Renewal of Hope
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones preaching with Rev. Lucy Bunch, Ministerial Intern Sophia McKean, Worship Associate Courtney O’Neill, the UUSS Choir and instrumentalists, Music Director Anthony Tavianini, Pianist Irina Tchantceva
Even if you don’t believe the traditional Easter story of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, it holds meaning and provides insight on keeping hope (and renewing it) in times of grief, uncertainty, and injustice. Indeed, it was in times of anguish that the story gave hope to his grieving and fearful followers.
