“Why do you need my potato? And other impertinent questions about stone soup.”
We celebrate our annual stone soup service – and Rev. Aija has some questions.
Speaker: Rev. Aija Simpson-Newbury
And Who Shall We Be?
Consider the Cow
Have you ever watched an animal approach someone who is sad? What can we learn about nonverbal caretaking from our nonverbal companions?
Is It My Turn Yet? Letting Go of the Last Word
How often do we just listen? Listen without planning out our next comment, listen without mentally reviewing our to-do list, listen without arguing in our heads? Just listen. Come join us as we explore the quiet power of not talking.
Evangelism for Beginners (and Doubters)
To evangelize means to “spread the Good News.” What Good News does UUP have to share? And what is keeping us from shouting it to the rooftops?
What Shall We Bring to Each Other?

The Art of Being New
Rev. Aija Simpson-Newbury, MinisterNancy Blake, Worship AssociateDavid Dodd, Piano; The Undogmatics What does it mean to be new to a place or a community? Is there wisdom to be found in not knowing a place well? Could we be okay with getting lost?
A Radical Welcome
Rev. Aija Simpson-Newbury’s First Service at UUP! As we begin our ministry with Rev. Aija, we ask: who else are we prepared to welcome? How might we imagine ourselves anew?
