The Language of Reverence

Speaker:-Maria Hayward
Worship Leader:- Rachel Mackintosh

This talk will discuss the language of reverence – what this means and what non-racist, non-sexist and queer-friendly language might look like. Connections are made to the UU values of transformation, plurality, interdependence, generosity and of course, love.


11.00am Sunday 20th April

Love beyond the Threshold

Speaker:- Keola Whittaker
Worship Leader:- Rachel Mackintosh

Join us this Easter Sunday as Keola Whittaker, currently in his second year of the Unitarian Seminary, explores the profound metaphor of resurrection through the lens of our Southern Hemisphere autumn. He examines the boundary between life and death, and what might exist beyond. Drawing from Unitarian Universalist theology and personal stories, this sermon contemplates how, like autumn leaves that transform in brilliant colors before falling, love doesn’t end with death but merely changes form. This exploration offers a uniquely UU perspective on Easter, asking not for belief in a literal resurrection but for engagement with a powerful metaphor: What if love truly is stronger than death? What if the greatest certainty about our afterlife is that the love we share continues to ripple outward long after we’re gone?

Seeking youth group builder/leader

Share this page...

Auckland Unitarians are looking for a leader to create and lead a youth group in our community.

Our vision is that in these times of high anxiety around climate change, increasing inequality and racial tensions, that our community is able to stand as a source of hope and spiritual inspiration and support. We believe that for young people in Auckland, there is a need for such a community

We would be able to provide a curriculum, or the youth leader could develop their own, as long as it was in line with Unitarian–Universalist principles. The group would be expected to meet in the church building in Ponsonby, on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

If you are interested, or know of anyone who might be suitable for this role, please email us at youthgroup@aucklandunitarian.org.nz
