Central to Rev. Anya's current ministry is the honest confrontation necessary to dismantle white supremacy, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and sexism.
A "Religious, Naturalist Mystic," Rev Scott strives to embody service to our holy mission to build Beloved Community, together, in covenant.
This service is inspired by “What Is Truth?”, a song written by Country Music legend Johnny Cash in 1970 to share his newfound Truth that the Vietnam War was a mistake, and he needed to help end it. Inspired by Cash, together we will explore notions of truth - how we build it, how we proclaim, how we recognize it. Rev Scott is joined by Rev Anya, Dionne Ford, Michael Gilch, Sam Schumann, Paul Lombardo & Dan Silver. Randy Crafton edits the video, Ann Trip calls and does audio, and Joe Palka monitors the broadcast.
The spiritual and emotional challenge of our present reality is change - our ability to transform, to adjust, for the sake of our own and our communities well being. Our service touches on why this is so difficult, and provides reflective tools to smooth the challenge. This insure first service back in the Sanctuary with members and friends in the house since the start of the pandemic, March 15, 2020. Michael Gilch is guest music director, Wil Hylton sings the Anthem, Ginny and Steve Crooks lead the hymns, Ami Brabson is liturgist, and the sermon is delivered by Rev Anya Sammler-Michael.
In the last 16 months, showing up has taken on new meaning as we connected virtually. Some of us are even deepening and renewing our commitments in community. There are always ample reasons to show up....or not! As life shifts again, how do we discern as UUs when to show up and for whom?" This edition of the 2021 North Jersey Summer Swap Worship Series features the staff of Beacon, the UU Congregation in Summit. Musicians and lay leaders from Beacon are led by Rev Emilie Boggis. Tuli Patel and Rev Robin Tanner.
“I love that I get to contribute to the worship services and also serve as a member of the Worship Committee helping to plan the services.”
“A hundred years from now no one is going to remember me, but they might remember what we as a congregation DID.””
“We’ve raised our kids in this wonderful community. WE’VE grownup spiritually in this community.”
