UUCS Sunday Sermons

Who Cares What You Think?

We often begin our sentences with, “I think.” Yet too many of us ever mention “why” we think what we think. I think statements that are unsubstantiated with one’s reasons for thinking are pointless and would be better off not being stated at all. Why? Because there are no reasons given to accept something is true solely because somebody thinks it is. In this sermon we’ll consider the value of conjoining every “I think” with a “because.” Listen to the audio only of this sermon.

UU Flower Celebration

Join us as Gordon Diddons leads us through a special intergenerational service we are calling the Flower Celebration. In this beloved practice, everyone is invited to bring a flower if they can, and each person will return home with a different flower, symbolizing the unique gifts we each bring and the community we create together and celebrating our interconnectedness and community. This service is rooted in the Unitarian tradition of the Flower Communion, first created in 1923 by Norbert Čapek at the Unitarian Church in Prague, Czechoslovakia where he was the founding minister. The service was brought to the United States in 1940 by Dr. Capek’s wife, Maja Capek, also an ordained minister. Dr. Capek died in a concentration camp in 1942. This ritual offers a unifying and inclusive alternative to traditional communion—one that honors beauty, diversity, and shared connection without alienating those who have left other faith traditions. This is a service best experienced in person, and we warmly invite you to join us for this time of reflection, connection, and renewal. Listen to the audio only of this sermon.

Frankenstein: The Story of Our Lives

Mary Shelley’s classic novel is often interpreted as a foreboding tale of science, technology, and obsession run amok. But, for me, it is my story, and yours, and that of anyone who has ever felt left out or like they don’t belong. In this sermon, we’ll consider this story and its deeper meaning for our own lives.
