Sunday Service: "Self Care in the Face of Loss"
Aug 09, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Crystal Neva
Crystal Neva, hospice nurse, will share personal strategies for keeping a healthy spiritual practice while witnessing the moving, beautiful, painful, heartbreaking realities of death. How do we live when we know our time is limited. How do we move beyond the superficial or sometimes pretend versions of ourselves to the truth. Crystal will share stories about confronting her demons and allowing grief to transform her life. Join her on a mission for authenticity and true self-care.
Sunday Service: "Have You Met the Neighbors?"
Aug 02, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Rev. Kyle Lovett
Rev. Kyle returns to chat with us about her newest endeavor: Pasifika Liaison for the UCC in Hawai‘i. Our world, it is a changin’ – and as we look around, we may not recognize our surroundings. In Hawai‘i, that includes migrants and immigrants on the lowest end of the social ladder. Do we know them? Should we? Is there a connection between the Golden Rule in all world religions and our everyday encounters?
Sunday Service: "Imagine the Future: How Sci-Fi Helps Us Create a Better Tomorrow, Today"
Jul 26, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Andrew Laro
Saying ‘no’ to fascism and oppression is not enough — we must also know what we are saying ‘yes’ to. How do we imagine a liberated future when the present looks bleak? Science fiction gives us that power: to dream beyond what seems possible, to feel a better world in our bones before we build it. Drawing from multiple sci-fi stories, this service invites us to dream together — because if we can imagine it, we can create it.
Sunday Service: "Between Screen and Soul"
Jul 19, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Rev. Deborah Bond-Upson and Andrew Laro
We are all somewhere in the digital world — finding brilliant ideas and entertainment, researching what matters to us, sharing with kindred spirits, even creating new art and music. Yet screen time can quietly crowd out the human presence, the natural world, and the stillness that feed the soul. As we seek deepening, inspiration, and genuine connection, how may our digital lives serve — rather than substitute for — what we most need?
Sunday Service: "The World Provides with Second Chances"
Jul 12, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Pastor Keola Whittaker
Nothing in life is so permanent that love can’t rearrange. Join us as we explore the transforming power of second chances and what it means to extend to ourselves the same grace we so readily offer others. Whether you’re carrying something heavy or simply in need of renewal, this is a service for anyone ready to turn the page.
Sunday Service: "Courage is the Heart’s Uprising"
Jul 05, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Rev. Deborah Bond-Upson
Courage is a union of deep desire and the will to act. In this difficult moment, we need such bravery not only to confront injustice, but to face our own small failures to see clearly. These quiet evasions shape our lives and those we oppose, feeding division and fear. At their best, religions nurture the courage to see ourselves and one another truthfully—and to turn division toward peace.
Sunday Service: “What Can We Learn and How Can We Support - Trans Kids Surviving Hate and Finding Joy”
Jun 28, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Nico Lang
Journalist Nico Lang will share with us their experience with trans kids and their families across the country in writing their book “American Teen: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era.” The stories of these families and children are moving, and learning of their experiences deepens and broadens our understanding and love.
Sunday Service: “Honoring Juneteenth, Father’s Day, and Sharing Our UUA General Assembly Sunday Service”
Jun 21, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Rev. Deborah Bond-Upson
Annually, we join our UU denomination online to share in the music, the prophetic wisdom, the enthusiasm, and the unity. This year, more than ever, we seek this connection. But this day is also Father’s Day, and it is our first Sunday after Juneteenth. So we will observe those two important events right here, in person.
Sunday Service: "Come Home: A Pride Sermon on the Body as Holy Ground"
Jun 14, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Pastor Keola Whittaker
In celebration of Pride Month, we will ask what it means to come home to the one house we can never leave: our own bodies. Drawing on Psalm 139, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the quiet question so many of us were handed early in life, this is a service about laying down old shame and claiming what was true all along: that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Come as you are.
We apologize, but there was an issue with our livestream last week, so there is no recording of last week’s service.
Sunday Service: “What's Laughter Got to Do with It? - Why and How Religions Use Humor”
Jun 07, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker: Rev. Deborah Bond-Upson
When something strikes us as funny, several systems light up, engaging brain networks for emotion, reward, and social connection; modulate stress hormones and immune function; and create brief but meaningful cardiovascular and respiratory workouts that end in relaxation. Biologically, laughter intertwines with psychology and spirituality by signaling safety, deepening bonds, and opening states of joy, play, and perspective that many traditions recognize as sublime grace or blessing.
