July 28
“The Courageous Life”
Rev. Thom Belote, preaching
What does it mean to live with courage? What role does courage play in facing the anxieties of our times as well as the anxieties inherent in life itself?
Beginning with the insights of Brené Brown, we will begin our exploration of courage.

“JLA in Germany”
Rev. Thom Belote, preaching
James Luther Adams (JLA) is considered the most influential Unitarian Universalist theologian of the twentieth century. In the 1920s and early 30s, JLA traveled extensively to Germany and witnessed the rise of Nazism. This experience left him profoundly shaken and deeply influenced the development of his religious and social thought. This morning’s service will connect past and present.
August 11
“Carved in Stone”
Rev. Carolyn Price, preaching
Today’s service asks how a human life, in all its fullness and brevity, can be summarized, and why we might choose to consider this sooner, rather than later. It sounds like a serious topic, which is why we’ll try to have some fun with it along the way.
Rev. Carolyn Price has been a Unitarian Universalist Parish Minister and an organizational consultant to UU congregations for twenty years. New to the area, she is glad to be part of this congregation.
August 18
“By Their Groups Shall You Know Them”
Rev. Thom Belote, preaching
A second sermon this month inspired by the theology of James Luther Adams: As a liberal theologian, JLA struggled with how to reconcile the dignity of the individual with unjust social arrangements. This morning’s service is about how we might think of the groups that we belong to.
August 25
Multigenerational Ingathering Service
Led by Rev. Thom Belote, Marion Hirsch, Kat Good, and Glenn Mehrbach
As is our tradition, we will gather on the last Sunday of August for a multigenerational service kicking off the church year ahead.
