Mother of a Thousand Orphans, Rev. Lara Cowtan, May 12, 2024
This sermon podcast begins with a reflection from worship associate Sara Ford.
On this Mother’s Day, amidst rising conflicts near and far, let us lean into inspiring stories from our global Unitarian community and ancestors, including Dr. Lotta Hitchmanova, a Jewish journalist from Prague who spoke out against the Nazis and then dedicated her life to humanitarian efforts. Dr. Lotta helped literally thousands of children impacted by the second World War and the decades following it, she worked with the Unitarian Service Committee in Europe and then established a branch in Canada. -

The Music of the Spirit, Rev. Justin Schroeder, April 7, 2024
There is a voice within you which no-one, not even you, has ever heard. Give yourself the opportunity of silence and begin to develop your listening in order to hear, deep within yourself, the music of your own spirit. — John O’Donohue, Anam Cara
In a world full of distractions, screens, video bingeing, and climate unraveling, paying deep attention to our inner lives — and the wisdom and music that is there — is critical. Tuning in and encountering the deepest parts of ourselves can help us unearth the hidden treasures, insights, and clues within that can lead to more aliveness, joy, and abundance. This Sunday, we’ll explore concrete practices that can help us tune into the “song that is our life.”
After two decades in Unitarian Universalist ministry, Rev. Justin Schroeder and his wife, Juliana Keen, launched Holding Space for Change, a practice that accompanies and supports people through life transitions. They provide spiritual direction/accompaniment, therapy, grief support groups, divorce support groups, life-transition support groups, and more. Between the two of them, they have over four decades of experience in spiritual leadership and social work. -
When Jesus Woke, Rev. Kathleen Rolenz, Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024
This podcast begins with Merrill Aldrich reading Luke 24:13-32.
What really happened on that Easter morning? A resurrection? An awakening? No one can say for certain, but we can say this — Jesus of Nazareth’s life after his death changed the world. On this Easter Sunday, it also has the power to change us. Come find out how.

review of church from a blind person's perspective
When I was in Minneapolis, doing an adjustment to blindness training, I came across three Unitarian, Universalist, congregation's, and this is one of them. The other two were the first Unitarian society of Minneapolis and the first universalist church of Minneapolis. I once heard somebody say about these three podcasts/churches, first Unitarian is the think-in church, First Universalist was the march-in church, and this one, Unity, was the pray-in church. This does seem to be true of the services I have listened to, both live and later. I find the movement part of these services at Unity (the parts where the congregation divides into groups and sings, such as in the song "this Pretty Planet") very confusing., why do I say this? Because the person doing these parts of the service is not clear about which group members, or which side of the room start singing, and which side of the room comes in later. I'm very glad that I'm not attending these services in person because this would be extra confusing as a blind person.
