Consider the essential role advocacy plays in living out our Unitarian Universalist principles.

What's So Funny About Humor?
2026-05-24 10:30 - 12:30 | West Room and Zoom
Tony Palermo

Of 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. Bring your funny bone

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!

Roots Hold Me Close, Wings Set Me Free
2026-05-31 10:30 | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Washington

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.
