Songs of Freedom - February 26, 2017
on February 26th, 2017
Think what these songs meant in a world where black slaves were told they had no inner light; think what they meant to freed men and women subject to the laws and terror of Jim Crow; think what they still mean today: Today, when the unemployment rate is double for African Americans when compared to that of whites; when African Americans make up 35 % of the prison population but constitute only ab...

Hygge or Happy - January 29, 2017
on February 2nd, 2017
"Happiness comes when our sights are on larger goals and we live beyond our own needs and wants. Happiness comes when we understand our good is tied with and to the good of others, when we understand ourselves as part of a larger whole. Happiness is based in the faith that the power of love and life, what I call God, flows within and among us and our world even when sometimes we can’t see it. " ... Read More

Reminders of Who You Are - January 8, 2017
on January 8th, 2017
"Perhaps the most important contribution we as a Unitarian Universalist community have to offer today is our good news of the inherent worth and dignity of each individual. Let us preach the gospel of light and love, the good news that each person is precious and loved and must be treated with loving care. " Read the whole sermon here:... Read More

Fear Not! - Christmas Eve 2016
on December 24th, 2016
"What might living without fear mean in your life and in our world? As we head into a new year with possibilities that scare many of us, as we ponder whether peace ever can “over all the earth its ancient splendors fling,” even as we deal with family tensions over the holidays, the good news the angels offer us is that the only way for “the whole world to send back the song which now the angels s...

Be the Light - December 11, 2016
on December 11th, 2016
"One of the things I love about our Unitarian Universalist tradition is that we don’t shift the weight or the light to someone else. From our roots in early Christianity we have proclaimed that Jesus was not God but a human being, and that his good news was not that he had made things right with God for all people in all times but that he taught and lived a model of how humankind could make thing...

Turn Out the Light (and See the Stars) - December 4, 2016
on December 4th, 2016
"This is the spiritual path of the mystics. Christians call it the Via Negativa, Buddhists, the way of No-thing. Instead of pushing to find the light, the positive, in all situations, we recognize that life contains sadness as well as joy, that to find our way we must lose it, that we gain insight when we realize we know not, that doubt and uncertainty open the door to greater trust and faith.

Hope - November 13, 2016
on November 13th, 2016
Our tradition tells us that we are rooted in Deep Love, which some call God. When we live out of that Deep Love, we walk in the ways of justice, peace, and mercy; when we fail to live out of that Love, fear, division, and violence prevail.This election does indicate that many among us are afraid – afraid of not having enough, afraid of change and loss. And while the election results call us to s... Read More
