Borderlands UU
& Baja 4 Worship
Sunday Service Update
Starting in November 2021, BUU will be holding in-person worship services in our sanctuary on the second and fourth Sundays through the end of the year. Then, in 2022, we will begin to hold in-person worship services each Sunday. All of these services will offer a virtual option for people to participate in worship from their homes.
The Baja 4 pre-recorded worship services will continue through the end of the year on first and third Sundays. In 2022, the Baja 4 plans to produce three worship services that continue the established tradition of high quality and innovative worship that unites our four congregations.

We begin 2022 with a three part series on love. The highlights from the service here share what we already have among us as a people of covenant. Music was particularly important in today's worship, so we have linked two songs below, so that you can listen and/or watch them.
All You Need Is Love

We Shall Over Come: Love Will Rise Again |
Endings & Beginnings
December 26
My Dear BUUers, I deeply apologize, but the recording of our worship today was not of good enough quality to share with you. In particular, the recording of the tolling of the bell and the singing of the bowl, essential elements to our ritual of ending and beginning, were distractingly poor. When faced with poor recordings in the past, I have re-recorded parts of services, but this simply is not possible with a ritual like we engaged in today. With regret, Rev. Matthew
“Let Go”
|
|
Let go
Of all that binds you Of all that burdens you Of what you carry Of all that shames you Of fear Of trespasses and transgressions Of woundedness Let go of guilt Let go of anger Let go of small mindedness and pettiness Of ways of being that no longer work for you Of compulsions that consume your living Let go of what you cannot change Let go of regret Of that which haunts you Let go of pain Let go of ways in which you missed the mark Let go |
“Welcome In”
Adapted from Rev. Lois Van Leer
|
Welcome in
All that holds you All the carries you Of what you share Of all that dignifies you Of hope Of virtue and innocence Of healing Welcome accountability Welcome justice Welcome empathy and generosity Ways of being that bless you and yours Compassion that improves our lives Welcome change Welcome lessons From the past that help you grow Welcome the growth that isn’t easy Welcome the struggle to be you Welcome it all |

Who Are We Becoming?
December 12
This song and sermon from our in-person and virtual worship shares the blending of the Advent season, misheard lyrics, and the decision we have in answering the question, "Who are we becoming?" The song is "Joy to the World" as only Chris Tackett, Baja 4 Music Coordinator, can play it. Following this, Rev. Matthew explores how we can choose to become Faith, Hope, Love, and Joy.

That Year We Spent on Zoom
June 13

Rev. Samantha, Chris, and Jamili lead us in this worship service to seek meaning in a church year spent on Zoom.
Our Unitarian Universalist tradition encourages us to see the meaning in our lived experiences. Holding that this Zoom year didn't appeal to everyone, that is was challenging, that we need it to be over, we are invited through silence and music, empathy and sympathy, and through a medium that expresses distance and brings us into one another's heart: what did this year mean?
