Sunday, October 6, 10 a.m., “Blessing of the Animals,” Rev. Heather Rion Starr:

Join us for the first-in-a-while UUSD Blessing of the Animals service. The service will start out in the sanctuary and end a little earlier than usual. Those of you who live close by and who would like to, can return home and bring your pet to UUSD’s beautiful backyard for a blessing.

Already submitted photos of beloved pets, past and present, will be shown at the very beginning and end of the service.

  • UUSD is requiring that only vaccinated individuals (who are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID) attend in-person services.
  • Please stay home and enjoy our livestream if you have a fever, any other symptoms of illness, or if it’s simply a better option for you.
  • Mask wearing is encouraged but not required.

Sharing Our Stories

Each of us at UUSD has a different story to tell about how we found a spiritual home here. A few of us are life-long UUs but most are not, having come from a variety of other religious backgrounds or from no particular place of faith. Whatever our journey, sharing the stories of the paths we took helps connect us to each other and to the shared journey we are now making.
