Sermon on The Amount

This Sunday Service will focus on the role of money in our Fellowship. How do we allocate our resources? Why do Unitarian Universalists not tithe? This sermon will present value as the true lifeblood of our Ministry. Money represents how that value is translated. This is not about another charity to be considered. It is in … Continue reading Sermon on The Amount

Multikulti: Removing Unconscious Bias from the Soil of The Soul

Unconscious bias shapes our perceptions like unseen roots beneath the surface. In this service, we examine how bias takes hold within us—and how spiritual awareness, humility, and love can loosen its grip. Together we explore practices that cultivate justice, compassion, and a more liberated, life-giving inner landscape. Reading: Harlem (”What happens to a dream deferred?”) … Continue reading Multikulti: Removing Unconscious Bias from the Soil of The Soul

Black Excellence

This service celebrates Black excellence as sacred resilience, creativity, and moral imagination. Through story, history, and reflection, we honor the brilliance forged amid struggle and joy. Together we explore how Black excellence blesses all of humanity and invites us to recognize, nurture, and celebrate greatness in every soul.

Choosing Hope

Hope is not wishful thinking—it is a spiritual discipline, a practice of imagination, and an act of defiance against despair. In challenging times, choosing hope can feel risky, even foolish. Yet our Unitarian Universalist tradition calls us to be people of persistent possibility, to see beyond what is and lean toward what could be. Today … Continue reading Choosing Hope

Cultivating Compassion

Compassion is not simply a feeling; it is a practice, a discipline, and, at times, a radical act. In a world conditioned toward separation and speed, how do we slow down, soften our hearts, and choose to see one another fully? This Sunday we reflect on compassion as a spiritual muscle—one that requires tending, intention, … Continue reading Cultivating Compassion

Building A New Way

We gather this Sunday to explore what it truly means to build a new way—in our lives, our congregation, and our world. Inspired by the Unitarian Universalist commitment to collective liberation, we ask: What does it take to move from aspiration to embodiment? From singing the words to living the work? Together we will seek courage, … Continue reading Building A New Way

Winter Holidays

The winter season brings many festivals of light, hope, and celebration — Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the Solstice, and more. Each offers stories of resilience, community, and the eternal spark of light that survives the coldest nights. In this multifaith service, we honor the beauty of our shared humanity and the diversity of tradition. Through song, … Continue reading Winter Holidays

Of Service and Joy

Rabindranath Tagore wrote, “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted — and behold, service was joy.” This week we draw inspiration from Tagore’s timeless wisdom as we explore service not as duty, but as a path to freedom, meaning, and joy. We’ll reflect on … Continue reading Of Service and Joy

What If God Is a Woman

What changes when we imagine the Divine as Mother, Creator, Nurturer, Fierce Protector, and sacred feminine source? This Sunday, we explore the power of shifting our spiritual imagination. What if God is not only Father, but also Mother — or beyond gender entirely? How might this awaken compassion, courage, and a deeper reverence for life? … Continue reading What If God Is a Woman
