Sometimes when we’re working hard to change the way things are, we feel like we’re alone. We feel like making mistakes will be devastating.

Sunday Worship: 1 Comes Before 3

Hybrid: Online and In-Person 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA, United States

Worship Associate: Bryna Blum

We are all influenced by our parents and mentors as we grow up. They paint a picture of the world for us, and we go out into that world as young minds. All of us then find there are many worlds, many cultures, and many beliefs on how the world works. What happens when those worlds clash?
I followed the path I was told would work for me, a white male in America. At 31 I found out that I was much different and was faced with a choice. I could stay on my path and be unhappy with who I was or change my gender presentation with hopes of finding happiness. What did we choose and how did it work?
My wife of 36 years and I will share part of our story of challenge, love, and acceptance as together we make a Major Transformation.

Sunday Worship: Co-Creating the Beloved Community

Hybrid: Online and In-Person 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA, United States

Worship Leader: Dr. Mignonne Pollard
Worship Associate: Sarita Gonzales

The beloved community is a concept that Martin Luther King Jr popularized as the belief that justice, abundance, and peace is for all. The community is a global community. As we embody MLK’s dream, we recognize that one path to the beloved community is through racial healing. Racial healing asks each of us to investigate our own backgrounds for understanding and knowledge before we reach across the aisle to our neighbors. As we do this work of racial healing, we can consciously co-create our world. This week we will honor the MLK’s dream as well as meditate on the Unitarian Universalist’s 8th principle.
