Thirty-five years ago this past Valentines Day, the Voyager 1 satellite took a photo of tiny “mote of dust.” It was the planet earth, seen from 3.7 billion miles away. Astronomer Carl Sagan dubbed it a “pale blue dot.” Fellowship member Bill Harlan will revisit the dot through a Unitarian Universalist lens.

Sunday services begin at 11 a.m., but join us early for coffee and conversation. Visitors and guests are always welcome at our progressive Fellowship. Services include a talk, some music, a little meditation and optional opportunities to share your thoughts. And we’re done by noon.

Bill Harlan is the retired communications director for a deep underground physics laboratory, where scientists are studying some of the most profound mysteries of the universe. He’s also a former president of our Fellowship and a member of our UU No Wrong Turns Bicycle Club.

If you come Sunday, be prepared for something different. Unitarian Universalism is an unusual religion. For example, we don’t share a creed. Our members are Christians, Jews, Buddhists and subscribers to earth-centered traditions. Members also include humanists, agnostics, atheists and people who resist labels. What we do share are commitments to respect the worth and dignity of all people, to care for the blue dot of a planet we share, and to support each other in our own free and responsible searches for truth and meaning.

Of course, there’s more. See us Sunday for details. If you’ve been unsatisfied with other organized religions, you might find a home here. (Full disclosure, we’re not that organized.)
