100% Beef, and Other Lies We’ve Swallowed
Presented by Amy G.S.A. Brooks
We live in a culture shaped by a Puritan past, in a society increasingly impacted by puritanical efforts to claim ownership of the concept of holiness. In this message Amy will reflect on the notion of purity and what it might mean to us as Unitarian Universalists who claim a heritage of freedom.

Woven Basket: To support our congregation's mission, please contribute to the Operating Fund and Woven Basket via SimpleGive. The Woven Basket recipient for May is WE Clinic. Formerly known as Women’s Health Center, WE Clinic offers respectful, safe, affordable, high-quality reproductive healthcare in a caring, empathetic setting. It is the only provider of abortion services in Minnesota outside of the Twin Cities. Since the Supreme Court overturn of Roe v. Wade, they now also serve people from surrounding states as well as Texas and other southern states. Their services include birth control, pregnancy testing, pregnancy options education, emergency contraception, medical (pill) and in-clinic abortions, STI testing/treatment, HIV testing, women’s wellness care, gender-affirming hormone therapy and PrEP therapy, as well as public education and advocacy services.
Come, come, whoever you are.
Come In. Connect with yourself, your spirit, and an inclusive community.
Begin. Embark on a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
Be with us. Together, we will be a force for good in this broken world.
We are Diverse Thinkers
We need not think alike to love alike. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who just let the mystery be. We seek to welcome you just as you are: your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your fears and your hopes.
We Support Each Other
From infancy to old age, we support each other’s paths as we seek to live lives of integrity, compassion, commitment, and joy. We help each other learn and grow as we explore our faiths, our identities, and our world.
We Act for Justice
We have a legacy of “deeds not creeds.” Our work for a better world calls us to harness love’s power to stop oppression. From grassroots community organizing to state, national, and corporate advocacy; in protest marches, prayer vigils, and press conferences; in homeless shelters and in prisons, we are called to put our faith into action.
We Serve
Service is at the core of our faith. We are called to make a positive difference in the world. We partner with, and advocate for, people and organizations in need of support. We live our values out loud.
