  • Greetings from The Unitarian Church in Westport
  • HOW TO FIND US

 “Love is the spirit of this church, and service its law.
This is our great covenant; to dwell together in peace,
to seek the truth in love, and to help one another.”

  • Unitarian Universalism is a “living tradition” that draws upon the wisdom
  • of the world’s religions. If you asked one of our children what kind of
  • person a Unitarian Universalist is she might tell you that a Unitarian
  • Universalist is a person with an “open mind, helping hands, and loving
  • heart”. An adultmight tell you that we affirm, “freedom, reason and
  • tolerance”.

Living Deliberately - Members of the congregation

In this service, inspired by Thoreau’s words from Walden, members of our congregation will share their stories of some aspect of their lives that is lived deliberately, with full intention, so that at the end,  they will “…as Thoreau said “ discover that I had not lived.” A lovely way to enter into summer, when we might slow down and notice and appreciate.

Resilience in the “MIST” of Change - Alexandra Horsky & Jim Francek

Alex Horsky and Jim Francek will take us down the river of change and suggest through poetry, participative involvement, and a personal dialogue some of the high points for being resilient in the “MIST” of change.

There will be a musical treat by Loom Vocal Trio, featuring Marcella Calabi’s son Raphael, combining richly layered vocal harmonies and original instruments.

Singing the Great Song - Rev. Dr. Frances Sink

On any given day, how do you feel about being one of the 7 billion people on our planet Earth? How do you locate your particular self in the mosaic mix of cultures, landscapes, colors and voices of the human experience? In dissonance and in resonance, we each have a part in the great song we are singing to the universe.

Come share with Rev. Sink and The New World Chorus directed by Beth Styles in a joyful exploration of multifaith and multicultural unity across diversity.

Who is Our Neighbor: Social Justice for Immigrants - Meghan Vesel

TWe have many immigrant neighbors not far from Westport working as domestic workers and construction workers. What might be our relationship to them? What might social justice look like for our immigrant neighbors? Join the organizers from The Domestic Worker Project of Fairfield County, a program of the Brazilian Immigrant Center, and CT Students for a Dream—to explore the question of who is our neighbor.

Enjoy the music of Ruth Ahlers and a Brazilian jazz musician.

Crazy Triggers & Better Angels - The Bluesteins-Lynda sermon/music by Paul & friends

Triggers. We've all got them. ‘Crazy Triggers’ are certain people and situations that cause us to react quickly, without thinking, and in ways we often regret later. We also have emotional triggers that summon the better angels of our nature.

This service is all about those emotional systems operating between our ears.

Transcendentalism 101: An Idiots’s Guide to Emerson - Rev. Steve Wilson

Balls in the Air, or Juggling as Metaphor - Bob Perry

Bob ran an Odyssey class not long ago on Juggling - something he’s rather good at - which turned out to go beyond the techniques of tossing and catching and timing.

This is an interactive service and everyone who comes will get a chance to learn how to juggle or become a better juggler.

Take a risk. Be not afraid!

From Midwifery to Ministry - a Spiritual Journey - Rev. Roberta Finkelstein

Musical accompaniment – a surprise - comes in the form of Roberta’s husband Barry, with a little help from Paul Bluestein.

Come welcome Roberta & Barry to our congregation!

David Connell with Ed Thompson

David, a consummate musician is Artist-in-Residence Ministries at Norfield Congregational Church, is a returning favorite.

Since he tends to gather his inspiration gradually, we don’t know yet what he’ll bring to us, but we’ve always been captivated and enchanted by his poetic reflections on life.

There is talk of a Copeland flute/piano duet, at least.
