Nov. 19, 2006 - Many say Unitarian Universalists (UUs) "don't believe anything". But if you ever get into a casual conversation with a UU about anything, within minutes, you will discover that we have lots of beliefs and particularly many opinions on God, religion, politics, and the like. Yet, in a big world, our small voice tends to get muted by very loud voices that seem to continually dictate the course of God, religion, politics, and the like. When you sit around the Thanksgiving Day table this year, how will you let your voice be heard? This sermon has advice about how to talk to our family, especially during holidays, with fewer blow-ups and without muting our voices to be respectful. "It's how we share our message."

Oct 29, 2006 Halloween is upon us. BOO! Did I scare you? Halloween lives, in part, because of our fear of death. I want to make a statement that I cannot prove: There is nothing to fear with death because it is just the beginning of a never-ending journey of consciousness!

Oct 22, 2006 - Our children are focusing on Judaism and its many traditions...  We should join them in their studies by examining the Jewish prophet motif and see what the role of the prophet was in ancient times and what that role looks like today in our post-modern culture.
