Upcoming Worship ServicesJanuary 18, 2026 at 10:30AM
In Person and Online "Death and Chickens" Worship Leader: cristy cardinal, m.div. (they/them) Worship Associate: Michelle Scobie Through their work as a hospice chaplain, UU minister cristy cardinal does not get to choose the patients and families with whom they spend the intimate moments of dying and death. They have shared prayers and jokes with patients as Fox News blared in the background on the same day they held the hands of a transgender woman whose only dying wish was to not be misgendered in her obituary. Humans are complicated and nuanced, not to mention full of contradictions. Death comes for us all, and honestly, so should love (whether in the shape of a chicken or not). The Nursery is open during Sunday Service from 10:15AM-11:30AM.
We are happy to announce hearing aids are now available from Sunday ushers for any congregant to use during the service. A reminder that large print and braille hymnals are also available! |

The first Sunday of each month, we are collecting food for distribution at Crossroads Main in Detroit.
Our next Sunday collection is Sunday, February 1st.
What to donate? Please consider bringing non-perishable food and toiletries to the First Sunday collection. Some suggestions for your consideration:
1. Many people donate Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure.
3. They may not be able to eat all the awesome canned vegetables and soup unless you include a can opener or buy pop tops.
4. Oil is a luxury but neede for Rice-a-Roni which is also a favorite donation.
5. Spices or salt and pepper are appreciated.
6. Tea bags and coffee are sometimes a luxury (especially since the tariffs).
7. Sugar and flour are appreciated.
8. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch
9. A lot of peanut butter and jelly are donated but not as much sandwich bread.
10. Cake mix and frosting can make a birthday cake!
11. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and very appreciated.
12. Feminine products are very, very appreciated.
