The Flaming What? The Flaming Chalice is the symbol of our UU faith. Yet why is it UU’s almost always honor the Flame, yet rarely the Chalice? What further meanings might that omission hold? This service will explore those meanings, honor the Chalice in its many forms, and offer possibilities for the individual spiritual journey. |

Who's Hugging Who: Our Relationship with Trees We are blessed by so many trees right here on this campus. Today we will reflect on the symbolism of some of these trees. We’ll look at how we relate to them and to other trees that we come upon in our day to day living. What wisdom is to be gained as we listen to and embrace our tall standing neighbors? Perhaps you know one more intimately? You’ll have an opportunity to share that relationship during today’s service. Robert Felton is a UUCYork member, having joined the congregation in 2009. He claims no credentials except for his deep love for the UUCY style of worship, evidenced by his joy for having chaired the worship committee for fifteen years or so. His love for nature, particularly trees, is what inspires him to share this service with you. |

Accessibility Is Love Join us for an inspiring service titled "Accessibility is Love," where we explore the deep connection between accessibility and compassion within our community. Discover how making our spaces, events, and interactions more inclusive reflects our core values of respect, dignity, and love for all. Together, let's learn how we can foster a more accessible environment and show that accessibility truly is an act of love. Elizabeth has worked with faith and school communities to create community events, write new programming and curriculum, and design spaces intended for learning and creating. |
