Sunday Gatherings
What to expect
At UU Santa Fe, worship is an experience we create together―not in adoration of a god―but rather a celebration of awe, wonder and the sacred. Here are our two ways to engage with our weekly services.
- Sunday 10:30 am MT in-person and online. You may watch live stream gatherings here or recorded services at any time on our YouTube channel. If you are participating virtually, please consider signing in to YouTube and sharing in the chat during the services. Many weeks, the virtual community is hosted by a member-volunteer.
- You may also watch recorded past services at any time on our YouTube channel. The most recent Gathering video is linked at the bottom of the page. Beginning April 27, 2025, these videos include full closed-captioning. To turn on the hand-edited text version of the service, look to the bottom of the YouTube page of each service recording.
- When attending in-person please join us at 10:10 for ten minutes of chair yoga and meditation before the prelude begins.

November 2 | Fasting and Mindful Feasting | Rev. Gail Marriner
In a world of overconsumption the ancient practice of fasting, deliberately doing without something, can lead to deeper appreciation and generosity. What do you take for granted, friends? Our First Sunday Giving recipient for November is Interfaith Community Services. Please bring a $5 bill (or a $1 or a $20) on Sunday to support this worthy organization! This is the group that ran Pete’s Place for years and they are still doing good work in our community. Interfaith Community Services is alive and well and their commitment to serving our unhoused neighbors is stronger than ever. They are currently offering three significant programs and there is an ambitious new project in the works—go to their website at interfaithsheltersf.org for more details!

November 9 | Smear A Little Gratitude On It | Rev. Gail Marriner
This is a service of deep gratitude for all of the people who offer their courage and care in service to our larger community. From the air traffic controllers working without pay, to the brave poll workers, to lawyers working to keep immigrant families together, to folks helping to feed the hungry, to the burdened teachers and the folks on furlough trying to make ends meet. There are so many people who deserve our support and gratitude for their care and their courage. How can we show them our appreciation? How can we re-weave the frayed fabric of our community? Bill Leeman will be our musical guest. There will be an early bird worship gathering in the library at 8:30 this morning.

November 16 | Imagine: A World With No Lepers | Rev. Debra Asis
Rev. Debra Asis—Episcopal priest, spiritual director and Rev. Gail’s interfaith colleague—is our guest this Sunday. Her sermon references two readings—one from the book of Luke, the other from John Lennon. Rev, Debra writes, “My journey is like a meandering river, or perhaps you could just call it twisted. I have been in the Church and out of the Church, Presbyterian and Taoist, progressive and emerging. No matter the twist or turn along the way, I have always been in conversation with a “Something More” that for years I refused to call “God.” I bookend my days with working out, writing, walking Mojo the dog, studying sacred and not so sacred texts, and meditating. I love art, dance, hiking and daily writing my blog. My role as GiGi with my grandsons Alec and Wesley rocks my world. Several careers including academic, clinical researcher, psychotherapist, program designer, spiritual director and single mom preceded my ordination to the sacramental priesthood of the Episcopal Church, which marked the culmination and integration of my life steeped in Holy Mystery and proves God has a sense of humor. Regardless of my several vocations, mine is a ministry of accompaniment; of walking alongside clergy and lay people as they deepen their relationships with themselves, each other and with “Something More” that some call God."

November 23 | To Build the Common Good and Make Our Own Days Glad | Rev. Gail Marriner
This Sunday before Thanksgiving our service is built around a lovely new fable titled The Wanting Monster by Martine Murray, and a reflection on the practice of grace before meals. There will be an early bird worship gathering in the library at 8:30 this morning.
