"Abolition"

Daylight Savings Time -Spring Forward
Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum & Yaakov Trek Reef, Intern Minister

Abolition is a word long associated with our Universalist, Unitarian, and Unitarian Universalist ancestors. Let's explore what this could mean for us today.  Yaakov Trek Reef, our intern minister, will give the sermon and Rev. Cindy will share how this topic is this year's UUA Congregational Study Action issue and what that means and why it was chosen.

"Igniting the crUUcible through the Gift of Noticing"

A pulpit swap today with Unitarian Church of Marlborough Hudson sends Rev. Cindy to Hudson and brings Nan Rogers Flavin of UCMH to us. - Noticing is more than just observing; it is recognizing and making conscious, activated only when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and receptive. Our Noticing sets us on a path of love and compassion; it compels us to Hold Hands. Once reoriented to our personal and shared values, together we ignite the fire of Community inside the crucible that is Unitarian Universalism.

"What's in a Name?"

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum and Intern Minister Yaakov Trek Reef

 In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare writes, “What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” As our congregation considers a name change, and in a culture that is persecuting people who choose name change, we’ll look at the power of naming and being able to choose a name.

"Question Box Sunday"

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum

Google "Question Box Sermon" and you'll find that these sermons are an old favorite of many UU ministers, often done at the end of the year. This year is such an unusual one in both the FPC community and the world, however, that it makes sense to stop, pause, and talk as a community about some of the things that are on our hearts and minds right now. We're merging with another church. There's been a lot of action around specific social justice issues that are getting intense in our community. Maybe you're just new to this church and there are things you want to know! Bring your questions, Rev. Cindy will bring what she knows, and together we'll explore.

"The War on Empathy"

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum - Rev. Cindy’s been planning this service since before the death of Charlie Kirk, who said, “I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up New Age term that – it does a lot of damage."  Since then, the war on empathy has gotten stronger. What is empathy, and what is our faith’s relationship to this concept?
