Why Are We Here?

Questions about purpose or the meaning of life have been motivating spiritual seekers for millennia. In this service, we will reflect on those questions, both for ourselves and for the UU Church of Meadville.     LISTEN:  

On Change

Why Worship?

UUs have been gathering in our sanctuary for worship at 10:30 each Sunday for nearly 200 years. Why do we do it? What draws us together? What is worship anyway? Please join us to reflect on these questions.       LISTEN:

Listening

On Authority

We reflect on the nature of authority, a term that shares its linguistic roots with author, and consider who we allow to be the author of our lives.

On Coming Home

On Salvation

Please join us for a reflection on “Salvation” as we consider who is being “saved”, from what, and by whom.
