If You Can Keep It, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, November 3, 2024 17:29

3d ago17:29

17:29

“Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic, if you can keep it.” Benjamin’s Franklin’s words at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in September 1787 have obvious relevance in 2024. The first Unitarians and Universalists in the United States came from the first generation after the American Revolution, and f…

The Only Constant, Rev. Lara Cowtan, October 27, 2024 16:17

10d ago16:17

16:17

We have heard it said, the only constant is change, and that there is no growth, no growing forward without letting something go and embracing change. Sometimes a door must close in order for a window to open, but how do we navigate this kind of loss, these decisions about what and when to let go in order to be open to new possibilities? Anatole Fr…

More of Who You've Always Been, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, October 20, 2024 21:33

10d ago21:33

21:33

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Betsy Hearn. Dan Hotchkiss writes, “Congregations create sanctuaries where people can nurture and inspire each other — with results no one can predict. The stability of a religious institution is a necessary precondition to the instability religious transformation brings.” How do we …

Re-Imagining the World, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, October 6, 2024 22:15

1M ago22:15

22:15

Pop culture is full of dystopian stories. In a time of climate change, war, and political uncertainty, dystopia feels near at hand. Even as they grapple with the consequences of the suffering and destruction, authors from Octavia Butler to Becky Chambers can help up to imagine a better world. What are the tools of storytelling that might help us im…

Salve, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, September 29, 2024 30:53

1M ago30:53

30:53

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by Chris Russert, worship associate. In 1348, a community of monks in Sienna opened the doors of their abbey to serve as a hospital during the plague. Seven hundred years later, the abbey exists as a picturesque ruin, popular with tourists and filmmakers. What are the risks of hospitality, and why do we …

Whose Are We? Rev. Lara Cowtan, September 22, 2024 24:36

1M ago24:36

24:36

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Meg Arnosti. The ancient question, “Who am I?” inevitably leads to a deeper one: “Whose am I?” because there is not identity outside of relationship. You cannot be a person by yourself. To ask, “Whose am I?” is to extend the question far beyond the little self-absorbed self, and wond…

Who Belongs? Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, September 15, 2024 27:00

2M ago27:00

27:00

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Anna Newton. Unitarian Universalists are rightly proud of width and breadth of our institutional welcome. But who decide who is welcomed? Who belongs? What are the systems that we can either critique or build to deepen our understanding of welcome?…

Labors of Love, Rev. Lara Cowtan, September 1, 2024 28:00

2M ago28:00

28:00

Is making a meal or baking or creating art or music an expression of your love? Let us lift up the many labors that go unsung, the under appreciated and maybe uncompensated work of people for others that enrich our lives in priceless ways. This podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Lorelee Wederstrom.…

What's Trust Got to Do with It?, Rev. Karen Hering, August 18, 2024 23:03

2M ago23:03

23:03

In the uncertainties of our times, our mistrust — of the future, of ourselves and one another — might be justified. But we are called, as people of faith in a liberating love, to cultivate greater trust. Let’s explore how to become more trusting and more trustworthy in the face of change. Rev. Karen Hering…

A Time for Every Single Thing, Rev. Victoria Safford, August 11, 2024 20:00

3M ago20:00

20:00

The life of the spirit is all about triage: attending to this thing and then that thing, each in its time, with care. But the planet spins beneath our feet, sometimes careening wildly, and our days are disjointed and dizzying. When the known world flies apart, what holds you in place? Join us for pancake brunch after the service.…

The Danger of a Single Story, Sara Ford, August 4, 2024 16:54

3M ago16:54

16:54

There were some audio issues with this recording. The audio gets better at the 30 seconds mark. We are all familiar with the story of Henry David Thoreau and his two-year experiment on a plot of land owned by his teacher, Ralph Waldo Emerson. We are less familiar with the story of Harriet Jacobs, Thoreau’s contemporary, who also, alone, entered a s…

Queer Migration, Rev. Laura Smidzik, July 28, 2024 29:38

As hostile laws are adopted across the county, queer families and individuals are making their way to states like Minnesota. We will paint a picture of what is happening, how Unitarian Universalists are connected, and supporting the effort to find safety and sanctuary for those who are migrating to Minnesota.…

The Road to Joy, Sara Ford, Kevin Ward, Jess Goff, Sunday, July 21, 2024 36:45

3M ago36:45

36:45

This service begins with a reflection by Sara Ford followed by Kevin Ward and Jess Goff. What happens when a book changes your life? You buy copies for your friends? Or maybe you talk about it in a summer service. In 2016, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote The Book of Joy. Some of their ideas are weird and unattainable (like — Can yo…

Hoy por ti, mañana por mí /Today you, tomorrow me, Rev. Lara Cowtan, July 14, 2024 29:05

4M ago29:05

29:05

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Chris Russert. In a consumer society focused on limited resources and rugged individualism, many are left feeling estranged from one another and numb. How might we move from a culture of scarcity towards abundance, understanding the power of sharing, and embracing our human vulnerabi…

Encountering Herr Buber and Mr. Douglass, LauraSue Schlatter, July 7, 2024 22:58

4M ago22:58

22:58

What does it mean to have a conversation or an encounter with another human that invites the divine into relationship? When we talk about “going deep quickly” and knowing each other “in all our fullness,” what do we mean? Why are these things important? And what do Herr Buber and Mr. Douglass have to teach us about all this?…

Spiders in the Moss, Nelson Moroukian, June 30, 2024 21:24

4M ago21:24

21:24

This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by worship associate Caswell Burr. There is a great, interconnected web of existence, a great and entrancing mystery, and we are starting to see more of the effects of our neglect for that interdependence. How can our UU faith and principles help guide us through the growing imperative to change our rela…

5M ago26:55

26:55

Fatherhood has changed a lot since the first celebration of Father’s Day in 1910, as have ideas about masculinity. Worship associates Charlie Caswell, Chris Russert, and Isaac Fried will reflect on their own experiences of fathers, and the joys and the challenges of navigating maleness amidst a culture that insists on binary thinking. …

Cultivating a Climate of Care, Rev. Kathleen Rolenz, June 9, 2024 20:10

5M ago20:10

20:10

We are well aware of the realties of climate change; we see evidence of the changing earth on an almost daily basis. Yet climate fatigue — the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness is also evident. How do we cultivate a sustainable level of energy and care for the environment when our own resources are often thin? How is that climate of care pra…

An Ode to Joy, Rev. Lara Cowtan, June 2, 2024 17:08

5M ago17:08

17:08

Beethoven was completely deaf when he embarked on his masterpiece, Ode to Joy, and it’s a tragedy that he never heard a single note of it except inside his head. At many times in our lives, finding joy may seem impossible. Life can seem painful or tragic, and joy completely out of reach. Not ignoring the truths of the tragedies and challenges of ou…

Mercy Without End, Rev. Kathleen Rolenz, May 26, 2024 28:58

5M ago28:58

28:58

Ukraine. Israel and Palestine. Haiti. Eritrea. Ethiopia. There are so many places around the globe where violence and the war that follows results in an endless cycle of retaliation and devastation. On this Memorial Day Sunday, we honor those who have died in past wars, while maintaining the hope that we can learn the things that make for peace.…

Plunged into the Luminous Dark, Rev. KP Hong, April 28, 2024 24:59

6M ago24:59

24:59

Coming of Age Sunday celebrates the signature year-long journey of our ninth grade youth, transitioning from the inherited faith of childhood to the adult journey of faith, and marked by youth sharing their statement of faith or credo.

1y ago25:51

25:51

Unitarian Universalists long ago abandoned confession as part of their liturgical tradition, believing that such a practice was in direct opposition to our First Principle of “covenanting to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of all persons.” Rev. Rolenz will explore whether the ancient practice of confession is antithetical to our F…
