“Is Love's Labor Ever Truly Lost?” — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. We too often think of love as transactional —believing we should receive something in return. But love is its own reward. Join us as we explore the nature of 'Agape" love — the unrequited, unconditional love for all humankind. Rev. Scott preaches. Inter Sabrina shares testimony. Music fills our hearts and our sanctuary.
“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.

“You Can't Step in the Same River Twice” - led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. The only constant in our lives is change. How we approach, manage and lead change reveals much about our success and happiness. Using a 1939 sermon from our history - "The Menace of Anti-Semitism,' Rev Scott will show how even an issue like Anti-Semitism - which we recognize - is different when expressed in different ages. Join us as we reflect on the nature of change in word, story and song.
