  • “Why I’m a Universalist” – Rev. Bill Gupton

    This morning, our Senior Minister continues his introductory / explanatory sermon series by examining why Universalism is a faith tradition that particularly resonates with him—and many others—within the broader religion known as “Unitarian Universalism.” Did you know our congregation was founded as the First Universalist Society of Cincinnati in 1827?

  • “Facing the Abyss” – Bruce Bowdon

    Sunday Worship, August 13, 2023

    There are times in our lives that we must face the abyss: a decision where we consider the previously unimaginable or are faced with having to let go of a system of beliefs and/or comfort we thought we could rely upon. To face an abrupt change can be demoralizing and seem to call for more fortitude than we know we possess. Nothing in our past offers any guidance of how to make this decision.
