Nothing To Confess Here - Rev. Sean (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ask most of us whether we have anything to confess and we'll say "no". Not defensively, just accurately, as far as we can tell. We were right to walk away from religion that called us broken. But we didn't just leave the shame behind. We left behind the practice of reckoning honestly with our lives together, and the kind of room where truth and grace can hold the same person at the same time. For the last Sunday in our Reclaimed series, we take on sin and confession, and ask what it would take t
Wash Over Me - Water Ceremony (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In these hot, dry days of summer, we all know what it feels like to long for water. Literally. Metaphorically. Last Sunday, that longing found its home in our annual Water Ceremony, as together we explore and practice the next word in our Reclaimed series….Ritual. Here's your invitation.

Heads, Hearts, and Hands - Question Box Sunday (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last Sunday we experienced Heads, Hearts, & Hands - our annual Question Box Sunday. This is a service where it’s all up to those gathered to bring their honest and direct questions about our thoughts, spirits, and work as Unitarian Universalists, and the ministers answer them on the spot. Question Box always manages to get just the right amount of silly, and at the same time, is a moment to freely bring your hardest stuff. The faith-shaking, assumption-rattling, keep-you-up-at-night questions, k
Truth You Can Feel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where do you go to find out whether something is true? Not as in a simple fact you could look up, but the harder kind of truth: whether you're handling this right, whether it meant what you think it meant. Nobody works those things out alone. We never have, and in this sermon Rev. Sean looks at who we've been asking...and yes, we will be talking about ChatGPT!
