“Nomadic Wonderings”
Sunday, April 13, 2025, 10:30 a.m.
Patrick Sanders leads this service.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in other cultures, to experience new religions, and to learn and grow amid vastly different, non-Western societies? Patrick Sanders has spent a good portion of his 20s doing just that, and this morning he will share some of his experiences with us.
After growing up in Heritage Church, he went to The Ohio State University to study Ecological Engineering, but always felt the call to travel. Once he graduated, he began a series of spiritual, environmental, and outdoor-educational adventures, first in New Zealand (2018-2020) and later in Hawai’i/Asia (2021-2024). During his most recent journey around the globe, he visited twelve countries and worked in six of them, leading youth in outdoor education.
Don’t miss this chance to hear about these journeys, which he refers to as “nomadic wonderings”!

“The Many Meaning(s) of Easter”
Sunday, April 20, 2025, 10:30 a.m.
Rev. Bill Gupton and Laci Lee Adams, DLFD, lead this service.
Unitarian Universalists have always had a particularly interesting relationship with Easter. Being a creedless tradition where different interpretations of scripture, myth, history, and even current events are welcomed and accepted, we often wonder how it is we should celebrate this major religious holiday – or even if we should at all.
This Easter Sunday, we’ll hear from both our Senior Minister and our Director of Lifespan Faith Development (DLFD), as well as others, as we reflect on the many meanings of Easter. As is always the case on this celebratory Spring morning, our beloved choir will sing – and fancy Easter hats are optional, but welcome!

Celebrations of Spring: Flower Communion & Child Dedication
Sunday, May 4, 2025, 10:30 a.m.
Rev. Bill Gupton leads this service.
Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the rites of spring at Heritage Church! In our traditional Unitarian Universalist Flower Communion ceremony, we will beautify our altar with fresh flowers, and each take home with us a lovely reminder of the Love that is the spirit of our church. We will also bless the youngest members of our church family in another cherished UU tradition, our Baby and Child Dedication.
In addition, our Choir will make beautiful music for us today, and our former Choir Director, Erin McCamley, will also sing.
Each person is invited to bring a fresh flower to church this morning. Our Flower Communion involves sharing those flowers with others. If you have a baby or small child whom you would like to be blessed and dedicated, please contact Rev. Bill to make arrangements to participate in that ceremony.
