Easter at UUGP: A Celebration of Renewal and Resurrection

Join us this Easter as we gather in the spirit of renewal, transformation, and hope. In the Unitarian Universalist tradition, we honor Easter not only as a Christian story of resurrection but also as a universal story of life’s enduring capacity for renewal.
This service will invite us to reflect on the ways resurrection shows up in our lives and community—not as a distant miracle, but as an ever present source of healing, justice, and love. We will explore how communities rise after hardship, how hope can emerge even in the face of despair, how healing can arrive amidst grief, and how each of us is continually invited into new beginnings.
We will also honor new members and celebrate Intern Minister Eli Poore’s last Sunday this church year at UUGP.

This I believe

Diana Coogle returns as a guest to our pulpit to talk about her strong faith in nature as healer, companion, and spiritual center, and share readings from her published books, including earlier JPR commentaries, recent poems, and poems from her book about her late husband.

Land Acknowledgement

The UUGP Land Acknowledgment, started four years ago, has sparked a variety of responses in our members and friends. Is it a courageous act of truth telling, or an act of self-flagellation? A significant thread in the larger fabric of social change, or a misguided and ultimately empty gesture? Please join us to participate in conversation about our Land Acknowledgment, guided by our seven principles and with the goal of greater understanding and compassion for friends whose views differ from our own. As part of the service, you will be invited to share your thoughts about the strongest reasons for keeping the Land Acknowledgment the way it is and the strongest reasons for changing it. Can you articulate both perspectives with curiosity and compassion?
