Sunday Worship Service: “Actung Baby”

Sunday, March 1, 2026, 11:00 AM. UUYO – I remember listening to the U2 album Actung Baby, and wondering what Actung meant. It means: Pay Attention!, which is our theme for the month. Join us for this exploration of attention, and how we both limit and can expand it.

February Give Away the Plate

The Urban Labyrinth Project... in Youngstown, Ohio, founded and led by Dr. Kellie Kirksey of Creative Wellness Solutions, has established a meditative walking labyrinth within a newly developed green space at Market Street and West Indianola Avenue. Opened in October 2025, this park includes the labyrinth, a pollinator habitat, and additional amenities, creating an accessible, tranquil, and restorative environment for the local community. Located on the 2600 block of Market Street, between W. Indianola and W. Princeton Avenues, the Urban Labyrinth Project is designed to provide a calm, contemplative setting that promotes mental and physical wellness, distinctly differing from the traditional concept of a maze. The labyrinth’s design draws inspiration from the medieval Chartres Cathedral labyrinth in France. Under the direction of Dr. Kellie Kirksey, founder of Creative Wellness Solutions, the project introduces a unique and inclusive park feature to the city. This initiative has received support from 6th Ward Councilwoman Anita Davis and the City of Youngstown.
