Complete Service-first Unitarian Universalist Society Of San Francisco

“Touching the Face of God” By Rev. Dr. David Sammons. Many UUs have two sides when it comes to religion. The first is the humanistic assumption that we're responsible for our lives and there's no Deity to take care of things for us. The other side senses there is a "Something More Than Us" we may be able to touch.

“Singing from the Same Sheet” Rev. Dr. Furrer leading services celebrating the many ways music has been will remain ever close to the heart of religious truth. Plus special adumbrations of Samson!

Reverend Jeremiah Kalendae, preaching on how our heritage teaches us that the most profound social progress happens when it is rooted in liberal religious spiritual values, traditions, and wisdom.
