Humanitarian Aid is Never a Crime (Skinner Award)

Skinner Sermon Award 2020
 
UUCT has something to celebrate! Rev. Bethany's sermon "Humanitarian Aid is Never a Crime" won the Skinner Sermon Award! This is an award given to a sermon that best expresses Unitarian Universalism's social principles. Rev. Bethany preached this sermon at UUCT the Sunday right after Dr. Scott Warren was found not guilty of two felonies by a jury of his peers. She has since preached an adapted version of this sermon at other congregations. This sermon will be distributed to Unitarian Universalists around the country in the coming weeks. This is a celebration of our minister, our congregation, and our partners in ministry, No More Deaths. 

Thursdays@5:30: Live Vesper Service

Thursday Vespers at 5:30 Starting on May 28th
Starting on Thursday, May 28th, Rev. Bethany and UUCT Worship Associates will lead a 30-40 minute vespers service on Zoom starting at 5:30 each week. This will be a live service with songs, readings, and a short reflection from Rev. Bethany or another speaker. Join us!

Rev. Bethany's Blog

Because we know that our all-congregation email sometimes end up in spam folders, promotions tabs, and other obscure corners of email, I have started a blog with the most up to date information about worship and other community events, as well as spiritual and community resources. You can find that blog here: https://uuctucson.wordpress.com/

Stained Glass Window

Our Seven Principles

We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote:

  • The inherent worth and dignity of every person
  • Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
  • Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations
  • A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
  • The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
  • The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all.
  • Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

Religious Education

Our Vision

Our lifespan learning community seeks to nurture and stimulate the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and social growth of people of all ages, stages of faith and levels of religious experience.

We envision a program that is rooted in our UU principles and a free and responsible search for meaning that through the thoughts and actions of our lives, transforms us, our community, and our world.
