Speaker: Rev. Dr. Kent Doss

“An American Do-over”

There seems to be a great hunger and hope for a new beginning in America, but what would that require? This Sunday we consider some of the ways we might achieve a clean slate and clear the way for progress.  Direct link to service.

“Water Communion – Faithful Flow”

This multigenerational service is a celebration of coming together and finding our flow. Families are invited to participate together in this service designed for all ages. If possible, please bring a small amount of water from a place that is special to you.  Direct link to service.

“From The Beginning”

Maybe you start your day with a cup of coffee or your year with a particular food. In UU settings, we often begin with chalice lighting, covenant making, or check-ins. This Sunday we celebrate starting out on the right foot.  Direct link to service.

“Skeletons in Our Closet”

UU history is filled with wise people and great advocates for social change. There are also a few unsavory individuals and chapters we don’t often revisit. This Sunday, we speak of our mistakes, how we fell into them, and how we can do better today.   Direct link to service.

“UU Humanism and Beyond”

In the 1930s, Humanism again reshaped our faith. This Sunday, we consider the core ideas of the Humanist Manifesto and what it means to be an atheist or humanist Unitarian Universalist today. Direct link to service.

“Transcendentalism, Thinking Big”

In the early 1800s, our faith was forever changed by a group of radical thinkers, the transcendentalists. This Sunday, we will look at a few of those characters and see how our faith today is shaped by their brilliant minds and open hearts. Direct link to service.

“Our Christian Roots”

Knowing where you come from is invaluable. While Unitarian Universalism is not a Christian tradition today, we did grow from Christian roots. This Sunday, we dig into the roots of UU Christianity and how many UUs hold Christian beliefs today.   Direct link to service.

“The Argument for Universalism”

In 1804, the Universalist Rev. Hosea Ballou published “A Treatise on Atonement,” a detailed rebuttal of the belief that Jesus was sacrificed to atone for the sins of humanity. This Sunday, we review Ballou’s ideas, and we consider what a generous, forgiving, universal Love means for UUs today.   Direct link to service.

“Mutual Aid and Anarchism”

With declining trust in social institutions, many are turning to direct sharing with one another for basic support. This Sunday, we explore the core ideas of anarchism and the revitalization of mutual aid.   Direct link to service.

“A Systems View”

Family Systems Theory views the family as an emotional unit rather than a collection of individuals. A change in one person often causes reciprocal changes in others. This Sunday, we look at some of the core ideas of systems theory and how they apply to our church family.  Direct link to service.
