"Community Life" Presented by Rev. Julie Newhall and Congregation Members

A year ago, we reflected on opportunities for renewal and community service within our congregation. What's happened since then? What have you learned about this community of faith? This service will be followed by information sharing and opportunities to explore new ministries at UUCSH.

"What's In a Name?" Rev. Julie Newhall, officiating.

Reformer and preacher Martin Luther King Jr. was reviled and praised in his lifetime, as was the man after whom he is named, Martin Luther. What is it they share, and why should we care?

"The Question Box" Rev. Julie Newhall, officiating.

Come and enjoy today's service without knowing for sure what it will be about. Maybe a question that's been on your mind will finally be answered, but only if you ask it.

Into the Mystic (Part 1) by Rev. Julie Newhall

From time to time this year we will consider spirituality as experienced by seekers from many cultures and times. These include poets, explorers, members of religious orders, modern thinkers, best-selling authors, and obscure people. Come open your minds and spirits to the startling thoughts of today's mysterious mystic.

Faith of an Atheist

Some might say applying the term faith to atheism is oxymoronic.  Others have said it takes great faith to be an atheist.  Faith in what?  And what exactly do people mean when they use the words atheist and atheism? 

Praying for Sin

The president of my ordaining congregation wanted me to have a long career so he warned me to: "pray for sin so you will always be in business" Many years of ministry later, I have come to see that behind his quip, there lies an ironic and iconic truth, namely that we have built much of our lives upon the negative, upon our view of the world as divided and degraded. I'd like speak about the positive results of reversing this view.

For Those Who Raised Us

For many Christians, this is All Souls Day. During today's service we remember and celebrate those who raised us -- family, friends, mentors -- who may still be with us or who have passed on. Everyone is invited to bring a photo or small item of remembrance to the service.

Voting Our Values

Today's program is offered by the Social Action Committee. If he is available, Peter Hart of Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (F.A.I.R.) will speak to us about how media shapes our experience of the political process.

Association Sunday

Unitarian Universalism is unique in numerous ways, one of them being that its congregations refer to themselves as members of an association. While we are noted for being independent thinkers, today, we celebrate our lives together and what it means to be part of a liberal religious stream. Come learn more about how the strength in working together enables us to nurture our spirits and helps to heal the world.

Exploring Christian Unitarianism

Once upon a time, Unitarians called themselves Christians. During this service, Reverend Joseph Priestley, an early 19th century philosopher, scientist and theologian, who helped to found both British Unitarianism and the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, will visit.

Owing to technical difficulties, not all of this service was recorded. The PodCasting crew extends their apologies.
