UUCDC Sermons

The fifth Principle of Unitarian Universalism states that we affirm and promote "the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large."  As Election Day approaches, Rev. Peter reflects on the duties that come along with the freedoms of our democratic society.  Beyond participating in the electoral process, what are our obligations to each other and to the democratic system itself?

During these Jewish High Holy Days, we are called to take an accounting of our actions and to atone for our sins and transgressions. In the second part of his two-part sermon on sin and atonement, Rev. Peter reflects on what true atonement means, both historically and within our current Unitarian Universalist theology. If you missed last week's service, you are invited to read Rev. Peter's September 16th sermon on "sin", in preparation for this Sunday's service after reflecting on how you may have "missed the mark" in the past year.

Festive kick-off to the new program year for our entire community (members and friends of all ages). Weather-permitting, we gather in the circle in front of the church, where the Chorus serenades us and special musicians summon us to attention. We then process as a community into our Sanctuary for our worship service. Bring a stone with you from your travels or your home so that we can bless it and use it during the year for sharing our Joys and Sorrows. Rev. Peter and our Director of Religious Education lead our worship.
