    We gather,
    our different paths entwined,
    to deepen our spiritual lives:
    nourishing connection,
    learning from each other,
    caring for each other,
    tending to our world.

    Meet Our Ministers

    Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern has served with UUCPA since 2003. With a fascination for the big questions and a passion for social justice, Amy helps us to create a community where we treat our differences--of theological language, spiritual practice, chosen metaphor, life story--with respect and interest, so that they can enliven our shared journey.

    Rev. Catherine (Cat) Boyle joined us in 2022. Embracing wonder, embracing curiosity and embracing life is her credo. Cat's background in theater shows up in her creativity in religious education, and infuses her worship with energy.

    Learn about all our ministers here.

    Justice Partner

    Justice Partner - American Muslim Voice (AMV)

    The Justice Partner for July is American Muslim Voice (AMV).

    AMV is local grassroots, nonviolent, inclusive, civil, immigrant and human rights organization. AMV hosts open houses, peace picnics and peace conventions annually to unite neighbors and strangers alike, including the popular EID celebrations.  They also provide the Muslim perspective through teach-in opportunities at schools, colleges, universities, places of worship, and peace conventions.  Website: https://www.amuslimvoice.org/.

    We gather on unceded, stolen land of the Tamien and Ramaytush people. We acknowledge these communities in the interest of truth and justice, awareness and gratitude. In order to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism, we pledge to join the Tamien and Ramaytush people whenever they ask us for solidarity.
