“The Danger of Sainthood” — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael. Centering voices from the margins is required for us to live into our vision of justice. But what happens when we beautify leaders of our justice movements? Join Rev. Scott as we explore keeping a balance between admiration and imitation, between living the lessons of our prophets and simply mouthing their words.
01-01-23 UUCM New Year's Day Jazz Brunch and Worship Service "Out of the Flames" - led by the Revs. Anya and Scott Sammler-Michael. This very special worship event includes live jazz and a fire communion. We will set the past years refuse aflame and prepare emotionally and spiritually for the good that will come.
"Christmas Presence" - led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. This is the time of the year for story telling. In ancient cultures stories were shared only during the dark and cold months of the year - times when warm hearth fires drew people close to one another in community.
"A Prayer for Christmas" led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael. In this darkest week of the year, on this special night, join us for a candlelight Christmas Eve service. Together we will compose prayers worthy of the Christmas holiday, a prayer and stories of good tidings for all people everywhere. As always, we will have a big choir and a small orchestra!
“Joy! Holiday Pageantry and Faithful Preparation”— led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister and Judith Hogan, religious education director. All ages are engaged in worship as we together become the no-rehearsal-holiday-pageant! We will share joy and moments of wonder and awe as our Family Choir sings and an ageless story is told.
“The Sublime in the Ordinary” Wonders abound and thrive all around us. How do we stop long enough to appreciate the beauty of this world into which we were born? Rev Scott leads a reflection on appreciating and celebrating the wonder of "simple" things, we celebrate the Child Dedication of Clara Josephine Lombardo, and the choir shares sublimity!
