Past Programs

What is the opposite of fear? In this all-ages service, we’ll explore how we respond to the unknown—through stories, laughter, and a few surprises along the way. Together we’ll reflect on what helps us move from worry to wonder, and how transformation often begins when we face what frightens us with open hearts and minds. After refreshments, kids 3-9 will make paper bag monsters while adults and youth 10+ discuss the opposite of fear.

Join us the Sunday after Thanksgiving for a hands-on service project! We’ll decorate Utah Food Bank boxes with festive holiday designs and fill them with non-perishable foods for local families in need.

Several UUFSU members will present information on the recent changes approved at the UUA General Assembly in 2024.  We will also enjoy songs, poetry, and an experiential activity.

This month we explore the UU value of Generosity through stories that show how one small act of kindness can grow and spread. We’ll read “A Small Kindness" by Stacy McAnulty and watch short videos that celebrate how compassion ripples outward. Children will create a shared story in a playful “story telephone” game, while adults discuss an article on the “pay it forward” phenomenon. Come join us and be part of the ripple!

Join us for one of our most beloved Unitarian Universalist traditions! This month (theme: Equity) we’ll explore how access to something as simple and vital as clean water differs around the world. Please bring a small container of water (12 oz or less) from a special place in your life—whether it is a favorite lake, the ocean, or even your kitchen tap. Together we’ll pour our waters and our stories into one community.

Hosted by Emma Prendergast (Assistant Professor of Philosophy and the Humanities Center Director at Utah Tech University), we’ll explore a range of ethical perspectives, from the ethics of justice to the ethics of care and reflect on how they shape our choices in a complex world. There will be a chalice lighting, music, readings, and a discussion to follow.
