Unitarian Univeralist Church of the North Hills

Everyone Has A Story
2025-01-12 10:30 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | West Room and Zoom
Presented by Rev Lee Anne Washington
Our Soul Matters worship theme for January is Living Love Through the Practice of Story. We know our own stories. We think of them as true. We view our lives through the lens of those stories. We make judgments about ourselves and others based on those stories. But, what if our stories aren’t the only stories? What if there really is more than one side to every story? And what happens when we listen to each other’s stories? Come join us for the first of three interactive consecutive worship services exploring January’s theme.
For the month of January, we will be exploring different ways to find meaning in Sundays worship services. There’ll be a survey to answer in February, so please come to as many services as you can.

All are welcome to join us in person in the West Room.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves
2025-01-19 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Presented by Rev Lee Anne Washington
Since we all have a story to tell – many actually – we can pick and choose what aspects of our stories we want to emphasize. An important part of recovery is creating a story that affirms our traumas, our challenges, and our disappointments while also finding something in the experience that leaves open the possibility of hope. Come join us as we explore the stories we tell ourselves.
Our Mid-year congregational meeting will be immediately after the service.

All are welcome to join us in person in the West Room.

Tell Me A Story
2025-01-26 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Presented by Rev Lee Anne Washington
Right now, for many of us, it’s painful to listen to the national news. We feel uncertain, anxious, and often helpless. When that happens, we can return to center by telling ourselves a story that reminds us that we are part of a beloved community with a mission: to build a loving community that nourishes the spirit, celebrates life, and cherishes the connectedness of all things. And, that we have the resources we need to transform ourselves and our world.
So, what if we were to collaborate in small groups (in person and online) to tell a story that presents a challenge and a way to transform it. And then what if we were to combine our small group stories with the stories of other small groups to tell a larger congregational story. That’s exactly what we will do on Sunday, so bring your childlike imagination and wonder, and turn your attention to the many creative ways we can transform a challenge into an opportunity for growth.

In this multi-generational service, the imaginations and creativity of our children and youth will make for much better stories – so please come!

We Are Change Agents!
2025-02-02 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Presented by Rev Lee Anne Washington
The Systemic Change Team is offering us an opportunity to identify one issue that we can all get behind and support with our time, talent, and treasure. Members of the team are going to discuss three topics and then, at the end of the service, before you go to coffee hour, you will be invited to rank your preferences.

All are welcome to join us in person in the West Room.

Connecting With Each Other, Connecting with the Earth
2025-02-09 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Nature teaches us that everything is interconnected. Creating Rachel Carson EcoVillage, we are seeking to understand and strengthen our connections with nature and with each other. Inspired by the life and work of Western Pennsylvania’s Rachel Carson, our intentional neighborhood is striving to realize her vision for a community “where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surrounding”. This talk focuses on one of our biggest questions, “What does it mean to live in harmony with nature?
