"When Is It OK to Rest? " — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, co-senior minister. Rest is necessary for life, but how do we claim enough rest when there is so much to do! On this Sunday we will also preview a new liturgical format crafted by our worship team.
“Ask Away!” A Question Box Sunday — led by the Revs. Anya and Scott Sammler-Michael, co-senior ministers. Once a year our congregation is invited to ask the ministers questions and the answers to these questions become the sermon. What are your most pressing questions? Do you wonder about God, salvation, faith, or hope? Do you ponder the history of our faith tradition? Do you have a hankering to know something about our congregation?
"Introduction to Prophecy"— led by Erol Delos Santos, guest worship leader. Prophecy is a heavy word. It is often anchored in religious ideology, traditions, mythology, and skepticism. One way to understand prophecy is to look back at the prophetic voices in Unitarian Universalist history. How did they understand the world? How did their hope for the future impact the way forward? How can we recognize modern-day prophets? Join Erol Delos Santos to explore ways to understand prophecy and how to cultivate our own prophetic voices.
"Celebrating Pluralism (Music Sunday)" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister and Markus Hauck, music director. Join our orchestra, choir, director of music ministries, and ministers for a Music Sunday celebrating pluralism. We will have the blessing of a full cantata of choir music from the contemporary Unitarian Universalist composer Jason Shelton, and space to honor our theological diversity!
"The Courage to Continue" — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Our annual Flower Communion Pride Celebration honors the struggles that have been surmounted, recognizing the work that needs to be done, and affirming the beauty in every soul.
"Prepare Ye The Way"— led by the Revs. Anya and Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-ministers. As we explore the nature of renewal, we will explore how we best prepare for the change that is always coming, as well as explore how best to retain what is of worth from our pasts.
