“The Mystic Chords of Memory”

“The Mystic Chords of Memory” — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Imagine if our nation had a more nuanced and broad appreciation of Public Service?

“Trusting the Truth: Towards A Theology of Repair”

"Trusting the Truth: Towards A Theology of Repair" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister.  Like "Trust," " Truth" is a big word. We live many truths, as human beings have diverse gifts. We each see different pieces of reality - we see some more readily than others. Being in Covenanted Community allows us to learn from one another. Join us this Sunday as we explore how we Repair the World together, every day.

Meta-Noia: Trust the Power of Love to Change Lives

"Meta-Noia: Trust the Power of Love to Change Lives" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Metanoia is a Greek word that is translated in the Bible as 'repent' and sometimes 'convert.' Its richness is often lost in English. Metanoia refers to an experience so strong that it literally transforms our point of view, causing us to turn with this new experience to see ourselves, the divine, and the world itself, differently. Join us as we explore what Metanoia can mean for Unitarian Universalists, and for you.

"The Spiritual Bottom Line" — led by the Revs. Anya and Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-ministers. The essential spiritual commitment is love. Do others feel loved in your presence?
