Leaving Room for Compassion

Sept. 15, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Rev. Stephen Robinson

The second UU principle and purpose invites us to justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. We can often get self-protective and, individualistic, and politically divided. Leaving room for compassion in our lives not only creates a healthier culture, but can also help us live healthier lives.

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

Lis Turner, Member

This is a place where I can always find big smiles, warm hugs, and stimulating conversations. It is easy to get involved and quickly become part of the group.

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.
