"Creative Resistance" Not Just Another Protest
2026-01-04 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Sunday Services Team
This Sunday, we will explore some different ways of resisting situations and policies that don’t feel quite right. We’ve all participated in marches and protests which have their place but sometimes we need to shake things up a bit. We will delve into some of the creative ways that people have used to get their point across.

Beloved Community in an Age of Artificial Intelligence: The Wisdom of Martin Buber (Part One)
2026-01-11 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Washington
As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes our work, communication, and daily routines, it is reshaping not only what we do, but how—and with whom—we live our lives. This message will briefly define what AI is (and is not), explore its current and likely future roles, and consider how widespread automation may unintentionally deepen social isolation, echoing patterns many of us experienced during COVID. In a world where fewer interactions require other humans, the need for meaningful, embodied connection grows sharper. This reflection invites us to consider how intentional communities like UUCNH may become not relics of the past, but vital centers of belonging, purpose, and shared moral discernment in the years ahead.

This is the first of a four-part sermon series that will culminate in a Deep Dive Sunday on February 8th.

————————————-
The UUCNH Meditation Group will explore the contemplative practice of meditation. Together we will learn and practice various types of meditation, including meditation on breath, mindfulness meditation, and loving-kindness meditation. Sessions will last between 45-60 minutes, 30 of which will consist of guided meditation, with the remaining time reserved for questions and discussion. Please join us; no registration required.
Meditation is an ancient contemplative practice that permeates cultural and religious boundaries, with roots in most faith traditions. It can also be a totally secular practice. While our group will primarily explore meditation practices that are prominent in the Buddhist tradition, these teachings will be applicable to individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs, aligning with our Unitarian Universalist principles of acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
To begin, we will use guided meditation recordings from the Insight Meditation Center, specifically their Introduction to Mindfulness series. Each recording provides context and basic instruction, with additional guidance throughout the session. A gentle bell will signal the conclusion of the meditation, after which we can take a few minutes to reflect and share our experiences. We may also incorporate a brief loving-kindness meditation at the beginning to help settle and gladden the mind, making it more conducive to mindfulness meditation. Our program will evolve over time, and we welcome feedback and suggestions.
Our group embraces this timeless spiritual practice to foster a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us. Whether you seek insight, relaxation, or a sense of community sitting together in silence, we welcome you to join us on a journey of mindfulness, concentration, and compassion.

Bring your ukulele, music and a table stand if you have one. If not come anyway. We are good at sharing and often have an extra uke or two. If you are not sure that you are interested in joining the group, come and see what it’s like and then decide. Beginners welcome. It’s a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing your smiling faces. There’s something about ukulele that just makes me smile!
