This service is about repair - necessary repair. It is also about the political crime of denying that repair. And this service is a call to faith - to act on the faith that repair is possible. Today’s sermon is an open letter to Governor Murphy, asking him to support and then pass the Reparation Task Force Act for New Jersey, Bill A938/S386. These readings stand as faithful touchstones from scripture and national history that further compel this action.
We gather again amidst another time of change and challenge to affirm our commitment to community. Water Communion, our annual Ingathering Service, invites all present to share what they bring to and what they need from community.
Today’s service called “People’s Choice” is our annual Question Box service. Questions have been submitted and questions will be solicited from those joining us virtually and those joining us in-person. What are your questions about Unitarian Universalism, Faith, God, Grief, Goodness, Theology, or more? Our Senior Co-Ministers will do their best to answer. Write them down now or when they come to mind. Questions will be solicited during the Offertory.
