This might seem simple - why do we gather? For spiritual growth, for friendship, for transformation, for community, for fun, to be part of building a better world. But it is also more than that. Why and how we gather is an especially important question when we think about growing our congregation - who else might find meaning here? What does belonging look like? How does our congregational culture influence who finds a home with us and how? The complete sermon can be read below: 
It takes courage to live into the aspirations of our faith instead of professing them. This is what it means to show up as our whole selves and in doing so, we help make this world a better place for all. Together, let us explore what it means to be authentic and to live from this place of integrity.
While there are significant common themes among activists calling for justice for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour, this is also incredibly complex and nuanced work and not everyone agrees or approaches it the same way. This Sunday we'll explore anti-racism work from different perspectives and viewpoints that invite us to deepen our understanding of how to live anti-racism as a spiritual practice. The complete sermon can be read below:
On Sunday March 7th, international touring musician and lay UU Preacher Joe Jencks, will lead a service exploring the idea of culture as a form of diplomacy. In 2010 Jencks was selected by the US State Department as a "Cultural Ambassador" and toured the Caribbean giving concerts, workshops, lectures, and interviews. Through spoken word and song, Jencks will share some of his experiences and consider the lessons learned as they apply not just to foreign relations, but to how we relate to each other here and now.
