SUMMARY:Sharing Our Light
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Lee Anne Washington \n\n\nWhat do we mean when we speak of light? Not something sentimental or decorative\, but compassion for what is\, clarity about what is true\, and openness to what is possible. This Sunday\, we will reflect on generosity as a spiritual practice and on the ways our shared light becomes blessing—through visible gifts\, hidden faithfulness\, and the quiet labor of love that sustains a community.

SUMMARY:Embracing the Possibility : Views on the Afterlife
DESCRIPTION:  \nRev. Lee Anne Washington \nWhat happens after we take our final breath? While we are fully aware of our own mortality\, what awaits us remains a profound mystery. Throughout history\, humanity has sought answers through religious texts\, philosophical reasoning\, and scientific inquiries like near-death experiences. \nThis Sunday marks the first part of our final Deep Dive Sunday series in this liturgical year\, where we will explore some of the most intriguing ideas about the afterlife. Each of the three Sundays in this series stands alone\, so it’s okay to miss one—you won’t be lost! \n\nThis Sunday: Embracing the Possibility: Views on the Afterlife\nMay 3rd: Embracing the Possibility: Comforting Words & Deeds\nMay 10th: Embracing the Possibility: Companioning the Dying and the Bereaved\n\nWe will dive deeply through small group discussion and exercises to help us companion the dying and the bereaved. (Please expect May 10 to be a 90-minute service).

SUMMARY:Embracing the Possibility : Comforting Words and Deeds
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Lee Anne Washington \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen a friend receives a terminal diagnosis or a neighbor loses a loved one\, even the most articulate among us can find ourselves speechless. In this service\, we explore the ministry of presence and kind deeds that truly sustain us in times of catastrophe. Drawing on the wisdom of several different traditions\, we will learn how to offer the kind of comfort that doesn’t try to fix the unsolvable\, but ensures that no one has to go it alone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Sunday marks the second part of our final Deep Dive Sunday series in this liturgical year\, where we will explore some of the most intriguing ideas about the afterlife.

SUMMARY:Embracing the Possibility: Companioning the Bereaved and the Dying
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Lee Anne Washington \nWhat does it mean to truly walk someone home? In our final deep dive of this liturgical year\, we move beyond the search for the right words and enter the practice of presence. Witnessing the end of a life or the weight of a Great Loss requires more than just sympathy. It requires the courage to face the unfixable and remain present and emotionally available. \nWe will look at practical ways to ensure that neither the dying nor the bereaved face pain and sorrow in isolation. Through small group discussion and shared reflection\, we will explore how to nourish the spirit by simply showing up. \nPlease note: This is a 90-minute service to allow for deeper engagement and congregational exercises.

SUMMARY:What's So Funny About Humor?
DESCRIPTION:Tony Palermo\n\n\n\nOf all the survival techniques Natural Selection has honed in us\, the ability to laugh seems the most\, well\, superfluous. What good is it\, how do we make it happen\, and what are some – hopefully – fulfilling examples? Let’s look at Bugs Bunny\, the Far Side\, Opus the penguin\, Abbott and Costello and others.

SUMMARY:Roots Hold Me Close\, Wings Set Me Free
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Lee Anne Washington\n\n\n\n\n The transition from youth to young adulthood is both joyful and bittersweet: a time of letting go without becoming untethered\, gaining independence without losing connection. As young adults move toward wider horizons\, the people\, places\, values\, and lessons that have shaped them can continue to guide them. This Sunday\, as we celebrate our Bridging Ceremony\, we will reflect on how roots and wings work together\, helping young adults become free without becoming alone.

SUMMARY:When Two Rivers Meet and Merge
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Lee Anne Washington\n\n\n\n\nHere in Pittsburgh\, we often speak of three rivers: the Allegheny\, the Monongahela\, and the Ohio. But older Indigenous naming traditions offer another way of seeing the same waters: whether the long river was called Ohio or Allegheny\, the Monongahela was understood as a tributary flowing into something larger. Same water. Different map. Larger truth. \nOn this Annual Meeting Sunday\, we will reflect on Rev. Christopher Buice’s parable of two arguing rivers and consider how two or more things can be true at the same time. As we prepare to gather around lunch\, reports\, budgets\, elections\, memories\, hopes\, and shared decisions\, we will ask what it means for a congregation to flourish not through sameness\, but through faithful confluence — many currents joining in one larger life.

SUMMARY:Dreams of Hope: OH MY GOD!
DESCRIPTION:Through the power of the arts\, Dreams of Hope provides the region’s lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, queer\, questioning\, asexual\, and allied (LGBTQA+) youth a welcoming environment to grow in confidence\, express themselves\, and develop as leaders. \nWe will have some of our youth participants perform excepts from our 2026 theatriQ production: \nOH MY GOD! a theatriQ original production \nThe Fable Realm is thrown out of balance when the God of Wisdom dies. While in mourning\, the rest of the gods must contend with how to prevent a world without Wisdom. \nOH MY GOD! explores the legacy that emerges from their collective grief. \nOver the course of seven months\, Dreams of Hope’s queer and Trans performing arts youth ensemble created OH MY GOD! The members of theatriQ collaborated to write\, produce\, and present a remarkable show honoring their individual and collective truths.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Shadows:  Illuminating True Interdependence
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Lee Anne Wasthingon \nThere’s a delicate balance between individual agency and our Seventh UU Principle: the interdependent web of existence. In celebrating Summer Solstice\, we step out of the shadows of two persistent errors—a toxic empathy that minimizes human capability by viewing people as perpetual victims\, and a rigid self-sufficiency that refuses the support of others. \nDrawing on several wisdom traditions\, we will examine how the best community caretaking promotes a healthy interdependence\, through personal resourcefulness\, rather than permanent dependency.
