"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" — 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.
"Covenant as a Transformational Tool: How Covenant Builds Trust" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister and the Rev. Charles Loflin, sabbatical minister. In this service, Rev. Scott and Rev. Charles continue a sermon series on “Trust.” Together they examine how trusting our covenant - those agreements and procedures we have composed for building a beloved community together - can liberate our best selves and fortify us during uncertain times.
