"A Radical Resistance""— led by the Rev. Charles Loflin. In 1841, Unitarian Theodor Parker preached an ordination sermon entitled the "The Transient and Permanent in Christianity." Parker drew a distinction between "permanent" spiritual truths and "transient" religious forms. This would become a foundational text for American UUism and Transcendentalism. How might those concepts apply in our current context to reclaim a legacy of social justice work infused with a theology of radical resistance?

"Covenant as a Transformational Tool: How Covenant Builds Trust" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister and the Rev. Charles Loflin, sabbatical minister. In this service, Rev. Scott and Rev. Charles continue a sermon series on “Trust.” Together they examine how trusting our covenant - those agreements and procedures we have composed for building a beloved community together - can liberate our best selves and fortify us during uncertain times.
The Really Big Word is Trust
"The Really Big Word is Trust" — led by the Rev. Charles Loflin. In this service Rev. Charles discusses the word, trust. Trust can be dangerous because trust always involves risk. A theology of trust invites us to ask not what do we believe but rather in what or in whom do we place our trust?

Have I Got a Story For You
"Have I Got a Story For You," — led by the Rev. Charles Loflin, sabbatical minister. Storytelling is a powerful means of gathering and communicating information, literally helping us make sense of the world. Stories are wondrous things. However, author and lecturer Thomas King reminds us that they are also dangerous, as he warns, "Don't say in the years to come that you would have lived your life differently if only you had heard this story. You've heard it now."
