Past Programs

Lindsey Davis will lead a discussion on the right to read, current attacks on that right, and actions that can be taken to fight back. Of particular concern to our fellowship is Utah's leading role in the nationwide effort to keep "dangerous" and "subversive" ideas from reaching young people.

Kyla Wigley will use and supplement Amy Fletcher's presentation on the Colorado River and stories about local water.

Michael Kruse will lead a discussion about death and dying—including what we fear and don't fear—touching on scientific research, near death experiences, cosmic consciousness and religious beliefs.

Bob Heffernan will lead a discussion built around Richard Reeves' book "Of Boys and Men" which argues that "We can hold two thoughts at once. We can be compassionate about women's rights and be compassionate about vulnerable boys and men."

To launch our summer programming, we invite everyone to a discussion in which we will share stories from a particularly memorable summer.

Join us for an all-ages potluck brunch as we celebrate fellowship birthdays and the end of our regular monthly programming. We’ll meet at 9:30 am at Mathis Park in St. George.

In this service, Linda Mihalik will offer some reflections on creating peace as your natural state of being. We will also share Joys and Concerns.

We will explore literacy through singing (with Paul Van Dam and Lisa Rutherford), writing (with Marilyn Richardson, author) and reading (with Polly Bringhurst, librarian). Bring a bag of books for our book exchange; plan to take a bag home (extras will be donated). Kids and Youth are encouraged to bring books, too. 

Child/Youth Programs: Kids 3-9 are invited to a cozy, campfire-themed gathering where we'll explore each of the UU shared values through nature games and stories around a “campfire.” Together we'll learn to let our inner lights shine by living our shared values. Kids are welcome to bring a folding chair and a flashlight. Youth 10+ are invited to participate in the adult service.

Rob Kramer, the recently retired director of ICL, will discuss how building resilience can help you cope with stress, overcome adversity, and enjoy better days to come.

Our May RE theme brings the year full circle with a lively exploration of our shared values. Through stories, surprising connections, and a few lesser-known famous UUs, we’ll look at what it really means to live Justice, Equity, Transformation, Love, Pluralism, Interdependence, and Generosity. We'll end with an all-ages trivia game—so come ready to think, laugh, and maybe learn something unexpected.

In this video sermon, Rev. J Sylvan of First Unitarian Church in Salt Lake City reflects on fear in a time of cruelty, division, and uncertainty, urging us not to let fear, anger, or hatred lead us. Drawing on Dune, Buddhist wisdom, and Unitarian Universalist values, they call us to stay grounded in compassion, community, and courageous love.

Trevor Anderson, science teacher and activist in several local organizations including Conserve Southwest Utah and Citizens Climate Lobby, will present this Earth Day program. 

Child/Youth Programs: Kids 3-9 will explore themes of Interdependence in nature, our kitchens, our body systems, and our families through playful experiments, collaborative activities, and a simple mindfulness practice. Youth 10+ will have a Watch Party and Discussion of the film “The Paw Project.” Popcorn and fruit will be available to snack on.
