Monthly Themes

The intention of the themed year is to help Unitarian Universalists build a robust spiritual and ethical vocabulary. The themes provide an opportunity to reclaim religious language, deepen spiritual grounding, think theologically, sharpen moral reasoning, and find connection within and with traveling companions. Our themes are intentionally woven throughout our programs for all ages to remind us that this is a life-long journey. We invite you to engage the monthly themes in a number of ways:
