Ask Away! A Question Box Sunday
“Ask Away!” A Question Box Sunday — led by the Revs. Anya and Scott Sammler-Michael, co-senior ministers. Once a year our congregation is invited to ask the ministers questions and the answers to these questions become the sermon. What are your most pressing questions? Do you wonder about God, salvation, faith, or hope? Do you ponder the history of our faith tradition? Do you have a hankering to know something about our congregation?
Introduction to Prophecy
"Introduction to Prophecy"— led by Erol Delos Santos, guest worship leader. Prophecy is a heavy word. It is often anchored in religious ideology, traditions, mythology, and skepticism. One way to understand prophecy is to look back at the prophetic voices in Unitarian Universalist history. How did they understand the world? How did their hope for the future impact the way forward? How can we recognize modern-day prophets? Join Erol Delos Santos to explore ways to understand prophecy and how to cultivate our own prophetic voices.
A Leap of Faith
"A Leap of Faith" — led by Laura Kushner, worship leader. A story of change. Sometimes you just know it's the right time to jump in feet first, without question.

"While on the Banks of the Alabama River" — led by Wendy McNeil, worship leader. Today's sermon is about Wendy's experience resting on the Alabama River for close to three hours, and for that time forgetting the river’s brutal history and meaning for Black Americans.
Miracle of Miracles
"Miracle of Miracles" — led by Laura Anthony, worship leader. Cynicism is very hip these days, and very tempting. In the age where everything can be explained, where the library of Alexandria is accessible to most of us, where rationality is allegedly the sensical response to phenomena, where we're way too savvy for Divine Providence - are there any miracles left?
