October: Living the Questions

What does it mean to live faithfully when the answers aren’t always clear?

Throughout October, we explore the questions that shape our lives — questions of courage and commitment, belonging and becoming, memory and mystery. In worship, faith development, and small groups, we’ll consider what it means not simply to search for answers, but to live more deeply into the questions themselves.

You don’t need to have the answers. Come bring your questions.

What We Dream Together
Sunday, October 4, 2026 · 10:30 a.m.

Led by Rev. Bill Lyon

Some things we can do alone. Others require trust, courage, and the willingness to make commitments to one another.

Rev. Bill Lyon reflects on what becomes possible when a community dares not only to imagine a future, but to create it together.

Braver Things
Sunday, October 11, 2026 · 10:30 a.m.

Led by Rev. Bill Lyon

We sometimes imagine courage as knowing exactly what to do and finding the strength to do it. But what if courage begins before we’re certain — when the way forward is still unclear?

Rev. Bill Lyon explores what it means to choose the braver thing when we don’t yet have all the answers.

Living the Questions
Sunday, October 18, 2026 · 10:30 a.m. Rev. Bill Lyon

Led by Rev. Bill Lyon

Some questions are meant to be answered. Others may be meant to be lived.

What changes when we stop demanding certainty and learn to stay curious, open, and attentive to what our questions might teach us?

This Sunday, we lean more deeply into Heritage’s October theme: Living the Questions.

Turning the Wheel
Sunday, October 25, 2026 · 10:30 a.m.

Led by members of Heritage’s Pagan community

Today we turn to one of our UU sources: the Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions, which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Pagans observe the passage of time with "wheel” imagery, capturing the idea that life follows a continuous, repeating cycle — birth, growth, death, and rebirth — echoing the changing seasons, the sun's movement, and agricultural rhythms our ancestors depended on.

Halloween has its roots in the Pagan world, which celebrates Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced "sow-win"). This turn of the yearly wheel marks the end of the harvest and the turn toward winter. We honor it as a time when the veil between the human and spirit worlds is very thin. We will celebrate ancestors, light, crops, and the ageless changing of the seasons.
