The Last Of Us

Rev. Lee shares her message about the HBO series, The Last of Us, and talks about how love can make people do terrible things, but also great things.

God is Change

In today’s service, our Ministerial Intern, Beth Monhollen, tells us about some lessons she learned from her father (a chaos muppet). She also talks about the importance of making plans (like an order muppet), so that, ironically, we can be prepared for when those plans fall apart. She ends by leading the congregation through an activity where we consider how our congregation is interconnected.

At the Carwash

In this (intentionally) mixed up Sunday service, Rev. Lee shares a story about a time she (an order muppet) led a carwash activity for a congregation’s teens (all chaos muppets) and what they learned from one another in the process.

The Rainbow Connection

Lay Preacher, Chris Chepel, continues our Muppet Theory of Everything series by talking about the difference between Order Muppets and Chaos Muppets, and how each needs the other. She then leads us in an activity where we get to make our own puppets.

Creating Ourselves

To open our Muppet Theory of Everything message series, Ministerial Intern, Beth Monhollen shares some creation stories, and gets a little (or a lot of) help from our younger friends!

What Would My Grandad Do?

Today, guest preacher, Rev. McKinley Sims from the UU Congregation in Mt. Airy, joins us to tell a story about his grandfather (and his old pickup truck), and how the lessons learned as a child still apply today.

Belonging Sunday 2023

Rev. Lee welcomes new members to our congregation who have joined over the past year. She also takes some time to talk about what membership at WellSprings means. Later, members of our congregation process forward with their stewardship pledges for the year.

What Would Mary do? Easter Sunday Message

Ministerial Intern, Beth Monhollen, shares with us a message about Mary Magdelene, and how her works would be viewed today. She also talks about trans women of color, and how Jesus and Mary Magdelene would have worked for their inclusion and acceptance.
