Sunday, September 20, 2026, 11 a.m. — Service: I’m Sorry, Please Forgive Me: Atonement, Rev. Diana Davies
Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement begins this evening at sundown. Jews mark this holiest of days with fasting, abstaining, and praying for forgiveness. Ultimately, what is sought is atonement or at-one-ment with God. Yet, that word ‘atonement’ is prickly for many of us. For many of us, it conjures up negative feelings like guilt and regret. But are we missing an important method of healing by avoiding the act of atonement?

Sunday, October 4, 2026, 11 a.m. — Service: What Might We Do? Rev. Diana Davies
Let’s talk about money… I know. Just hearing that word spoken from the pulpit can make many of us cringe. Because “the financial” and “the sacred” don’t seem to belong in the same space. But how might we think of giving as a spiritual practice? How might it be an expression of our joy and help to nurture more joy? And what might it mean to give (and to love) from a place of abundance?
Sunday, October 11, 2026, 11 a.m. — Sharing Circle: How Did You Get Here?
Each one of us has a unique story to tell about how we “landed” in a Unitarian congregation, and more specifically, at UCOT. Be ready to share the “stepping stones” (religious, spiritual, or otherwise) that have formed and informed your journey. (2-3 minutes, please). Hopefully, this will inspire lots of conversations after the circle concludes.
Sunday, October 18, 2026, 11 a.m. — Service: The Unitarians and the Utes, Rev. Diana Davies
In 1870, President Grant invited Christian denominations to “manage” indigenous peoples. Unitarians were assigned to oversee the Utes of Colorado. These Unitarians wanted to do good, wanted to help the Utes, without understanding anything about their culture or trying to respond to their actual needs. Knowing this history can help us learn from the mistakes of our spiritual ancestors, so we can learn to do better.
