Sermon Category: Rev. Scott

"The Bread of Life"— led by the Revs. Scott & Anya Sammler-Michael, senior co-ministers. "Heritage Bread Communion Sunday." As spoken in the Gospels we do not live by bread alone, but by the grace and compassion that abound when we see our world as blessed, when we see ourselves - and all people everywhere - as beloved. Join us for a fun and moving Multi-generational Service exploring the mystery of Love's power to feed our deepest needs as we break bread together in a ritual of collective nourishment.

"Sing Out Love" — led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister and Markus Hauck, director of music ministries. It is said that to sing is to pray twice - once with the words, and the other with our embodied music-making invention. Join Director of Music Ministries Markus Hauck and Rev Scott as they lead a service introducing the new UUA hymnal - Sing Out Love. [St. Augustine said "Singing belongs to one who loves." Perhaps it was Luther who said, "He who sings prays twice."

"Good Grief!"— led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. All Souls Day; Yes, Grief is Good! Grief is the gift that we are allowing ourselves to feel what we must feel to transcend the sorrow that comes our way.

"Indigenous People Have Not Vanished" —led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, senior co-minister. Here in New Jersey it is easy to believe that Native Americans abandoned these lands long ago. But that is a myth that enables subjugation and neglect. Join Rev Scott on a reflection this Indigenous People's Sunday to see how we can honor the First nation's folk who long for our recognition and assistance.
