As we get closer to our All Church Retreat we are starting to hear: “What is this retreat about?” And “Haven’t we already done this kind of work?” Our All Church Retreat is an opportunity to pause and listen for God’s call.

We're invited to Our Whole Lives (OWL) classes this fall at Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship. OWL is lifespan sexuality education curricula co-published by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Christian Church.

Our church building is filled with little nooks, crannies and unexpected spaces—places that are often overlooked or underused. What if they became places of beauty and wonder and prayer? What if they became places to pause? We'd love to invite the artists, makers, designers, and creative thinkers in our congregation to adopt a space and transform it into a Sacred Moment.
