Sermon Category: Lay Led

"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" — 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?

"The Othering" — led by Ghana Hylton, UUCM member. "Do you believe in aliens? Other life-forms outside of the milky way? If they do exist... Are they coming to get us?!"

"But Not Unaltered"— led by Laura Anthony, worship leader. Today's service consists of our Fire Communion — where we reflect from the precipice of change. But how do we make resolutions, and why?

"A Heretic's Healing Journey"— led byDionne Ford. UUs come from a long line of heretics, people who chose what and how to believe. “We believe that each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life” according to our fourth principle. This sermon explores our fourth principle through the legacy of spiritual choice passed down to me through my family and the healing experience of uncovering the spiritual practices of my ancestors. “Only by knowing our truths can we act boldly on our journey of healing.” - William Sinkford
