Having the courage to admit that not only are we imperfect, but we absolutely need each other, is not only courageous but the only perfect, self-sustaining thing to do.
Pastor Joshua Berg graduated from seminary this May with a Master in Divinity degree and was ordained into the Unitarian Universalist ministry in July. At the beginning of the year, he spent five months as the sabbatical minister at Emerson UU in Canoga Park and is currently doing a year-long residency as a chaplain at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

"Every Day We Will Remember - Reflections on The Burning Time," Service presented by February Sky.
2023-01-15 11:00 - 12:00
During what has come to be known as “The Burning Time” in Europe and America, which included the Inquisition, it’s estimated that as many as 9 million innocent women, men and children were persecuted under the varying official definitions of “witchcraft.” Of course, this type of persecution is as antithetical to Unitarian Universalist beliefs as could possibly be imagined. In these enlightened times, no such horrors could possibly happen again – or could they? This service will be a reminder that UUs must continue to stand against intolerance and hatred based on “differences” between people.

“Humans Wrote the Bible, God Wrote Life - The Teachings of John Shelby Spong,” presented by February Sky
2023-02-19 11:00 - 12:00
The word “God” can be a hot-button for many Unitarian Universalists. But late maverick retired Episcopal bishop John Shelby Spong, whose best known book is “Why Christianity Must Change or Die,” gives us some new ways of looking at the concept. He says, “I can tell no one who God is or what God is. Neither can anyone else – from the Pope to Pat Robertson to the Dalai Lama. That is simply an aspect of human pretending.” We will explore the ideas of this courageous and far-sighted man as expressed by him, and by others, in speech and in song.

"Strength, Vision and Courage: Songs by Women About Women," in honor of Women's History Month, presented by February Sky
2023-03-19 11:00 - 12:00
As in many other fields, women tend to have a hard time being taken seriously as songwriters. Yes, their writing is subtly different from men’s, and this is seen as making it inferior rather than “different therefore equal.” But many well-crafted and meaningful songs have been written by women about women. This service will focus on a number of them.

"Falling In Love With Being Together - Why We 'Do Church',” presented by February Sky.
2023-04-16 11:00 - 12:00
Human beings seem to have an innate need for connection and belonging. For many, this is met by family, or by work, or by other activities where people come together for a common purpose. Many Unitarian Universalists harbor beliefs and viewpoints which tend to be a bit out of the mainstream. For us, a church welcoming all, as long as they respect the inherent worth and dignity of every person, can become a place to find support, togetherness and love.
