"Sustaining the Call" — led by the Rev. Charles Loflin, affiliated community minister. In 2006, UU FaithAction was founded as a collaborative effort of New Jersey UU congregations to confront systemic injustice through Education, Mobilization and Advocacy. The call to faith based activism is energizing but also carries with it the risk of burnout. How do we sustain the call to social justice work without being driven to exhaustion?
"A Beautiful Mess" — led by the Rev. Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. This is the story in the service where we discover the beauty in the mess.
"We All Have Something Worth Preaching" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. During this week when we hosted "The Distillery: A UU Preaching Conference," we gathered and shared how each one of us are theologians, how each one of us has "Something Worth Preaching."

Robert G. Brown
We lit a candle for Robert G. Brown who died after a brief illness. He attended our congregation regularly when he was a tutor at Montclair State University in 2003 to 2004.
“I love that I get to contribute to the worship services and also serve as a member of the Worship Committee helping to plan the services.”
“A hundred years from now no one is going to remember me, but they might remember what we as a congregation DID.””
“We’ve raised our kids in this wonderful community. WE’VE grownup spiritually in this community.”
