FALL BACK YOUR CLOCK ONE HOUR
Sadness Always Has a Hope of One Day Not Being Sad Anymore
Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Kara Tyler, Director of Religious Education, special choro music by Kris and Paul Faatz
The title of today’s service comes from the Brazilian poet and musician Vinicius de Moraes. Brazil is known for its choro music. The origin of the word in Portuguese translates to “weep” or “cry.” Yet choro music takes sorrow and transmutes it into joy and even a dance. This happens, in no small measure, because in the roda—the circle where musicians meet—there are no spectators, only participants in a grand, ongoing dialogue of resilience. This Sunday before the mid-term elections is a good time to reflect on what we are grieving and our vision for the future. Today, may our choro music, celebrating diversity and democracy, strengthen our resilience and heal us.
Our Mission and Vision
Grow and strengthen the present and future of the church by drawing in newcomers who are seeking community, cultivating new members, and deepening engagement with existing members and friends, online and in person.
Nurture resilient community, grounded in joy, creating connection and belonging through inclusive approaches to faith formation, programming, and social, racial, economic, and environmental justice work.
Join us!
The best way to discover us is to worship with us on Sunday morning—either online or in the building. Everyone is welcome. You will find a religious community dedicated to walking together in the ways of truth known or to be made known to us. Love is at the center of our faith tradition. Our partners in the wider community serve human needs for food, shelter, education, dreams, and healthy natural environments.
Come visit us! We'd love to meet you.

I belong to TUUC because it is a church home where I find a community, classes, get-togethers, and events of education and spirituality. It is where my beliefs are respected and we join together in diversity and peace. I love to learn about different religious beliefs, writings, and philosophies without being told what to believe or limited by religious dogma. I like that rather than dogma, there are values and goals that support human dignity, equality, compassion, justice, and respect for nature.
