Once upon a time, there was a drop of water… named Higgins

Sep 15 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Sunday, September 15, 10 a.m., “Once upon a time, there was a drop of water… named Higgins,” Rev. Heather Rion Starr, Prof. Heather Hamilton, and Julie Keefer with the UUSD Choir: Join us for this joyful forward-looking service when we regroup and regather after summer activities. We will celebrate our annual Unitarian Universalist Water Ceremony and embark together on our congregational year ahead. You are invited to bring a small container of water to pour into our common bowls for the Water Ceremony. This can be water you may have collected over the summer or water to symbolize places where your spirit has been nourished over the summer months.

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.

Transforming Hearts Course

Called by some UU Ministers as “the single most transformative experience for UUs trying to become more understanding and supporting of the transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer people among us.”

January CFE!

Kick off 2025 with us as we celebrate our January theme: “The Stories and You!”

Transgender Day of Remembrance Held at UUSD

On November 20, 2024, Sussex Pride hosted a solemn vigil at UUSD to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance. The event was co-organized by UUSD’s Social and Environmental Justice Committee. This candlelight ceremony honored the lives of transgender individuals who were tragically lost to violence over the past year.

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.
