When Two Rivers Meet and Merge
2026-06-07 10:30 | West Room and Zoom
Rev. Lee Anne Washington

Here 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.
On 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.

————————————-
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.

There’s something about ukulele that just makes me smile!

Dreams of Hope: OH MY GOD!
2026-06-14 10:30 | West Room and Zoom
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.
We will have some of our youth participants perform excepts from our 2026 theatriQ production:
OH MY GOD! a theatriQ original production
The 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.
OH MY GOD! explores the legacy that emerges from their collective grief.
Over 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.
