Upcoming Worship Services
March 8 Love at the Center
Dana Moore, guest speaker
Unitarian Universalists boldly claim Love at the center of our faith. But when conflict arises and challenges test us, how do we move beyond aspiration to embody love as a transformative spiritual practice? This service explores what it means to practice love as the courageous, sustaining work of Beloved Community near and afar.
Music: Michael Rosin, Music Director
Dana N. Moore is a lifelong practitioner of “Love at the Center,” an M.Div. graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry, and serves as Congregational Coordinator at Beacon UU Congregation in Summit, NJ. When not nurturing her two beautiful children, Dana can be found preaching and singing about love, nibbling cheese, and hugging trees.

March 15 The 2026 Dr. Myra Zinke Lecture: But Girls Can’t Be Lawyers!
Kendra Reinshagen, guest speaker
This was my response in 1968 when a friend in high school told me she wanted to attend law school. Nine years later I applied to DePaul University College of Law, was accepted, and started attending law school. I will talk about how—and why—I went from “Girls can’t do that” to…doing…“that.”
Music: Elaine Held, Sister Singers
This service is funded by a bequest from Dr. Myra Zinke who hoped to promote gender equality with her generosity.
Kendra Reinshagen is a lawyer who has dedicated her life to the needs of women and families, focusing on domestic violence, anti-trafficking, and elder and poverty law.

A Bake Sale will follow the service in the Community Room.
March 22 Attention Surplus Disorder
Rev. Dr. Craig Rubano
For all of our desire to do, read, watch, worry, stress, and act—all at the same time—the truth is that multi-tasking is merely continuous partial attention. In a world characterized not by our inability to pay attention but by our attention being drawn in too many ways at once, it seems that Attention Surplus Disorder should be a thing if it isn’t already. The answer to this quandary is, of course, honing the art of paying attention—really paying attention. And where better to begin than in a community sustained by its common values?
Music: Michael Rosin; UU Singers
An Interim Congregational Meeting will follow the service in the Community Room.
March 29 …But I Would Not Stop There
Chris Budin, guest speaker
Chris will be reflecting on his recent experience traveling to Minneapolis, MN, the power of an interfaith embodied collective justice movement, and how each of us can inspire institutional change through compassion and vulnerability.
