“St Cecelia Sunday” ( Nov.
18th) By Rev. Jennifer Ryu,
Co-minister November 18 is our
annual St.Cecilia Celebration of Music. This year the
WUU Choir and chamber orchestra will be performing Franz Joseph Haydn's Te
Deum. Haydn composed this work in Eisenstadt, Austria for the Empress Marie
Therese (wife of Franz I) while in the employ of the Esterhazy family. This
very cheerful piece, based on a traditional Latin text praising God,
explores a wide palette of musical colors. There will also be an opportunity
for the whole congregation to participate in another piece re-arranged
specifically for WUU. (CD available in church Library) |

“We Affirm the Goal of
World Community” the Nov. 11 Sermon By Rev. Jennifer Ryu,
Co-minister Is the idea of world peace
naïve? Is the UU goal of world peace, liberty and justice for all too
idealistic and far-reaching? How do we hold in our hearts both the world's
suffering and our hope for healing? Guest Musicians, “InCluesion” will join
our congregation for an inspiring worship service full of music and images.
We will be giving out the UUSC (The UU Service Committee) Guests at Our
Table Boxes. |

surprise you. |

Listen to “Closeness and Otherness,
Intimacy and Wound”
by
Rev. Preston Moore, Co-Minister
The people closest to us should be the
ones with whom our relationships are most kind, gentle, and loving, right?
But then why do
we nod our heads in sad recognition when
we hear those old songs that go “you always hurt the one you love”? This Sunday we look at intimate relationships and
ask how we can best compose ourselves in these sacred
spaces. |

It is time for Water Communion again. Is there something
extraordinary about the reunion we celebrate with this symbol-laden ritual
at the beginning of each new church year? Something deeper than simple
pleasure of seeing good friends again after the scatterings of summer? Oh
yes. Oh yes. |

"Things Commonly Believed Among Us?"
the Sept 2 Sermon by
Rev. Preston Moore, Co-Minister (mp3)
Without the question mark, a long-ago Unitarian leader
gave this name to an essay on what holds us together. Now, after over a
century of similar efforts, our national leadership is at it again-this
time, a revision of the UU Principles and Purposes. Why do we keep running
around this track? Is something more profound at stake than the need for
institutional cohesion? |

Prayer"
the July 29th Sermon
by Sara Mackey,
Director of Faith Development. (mp3) We may be unsettled by the word
"prayer", but the practice itself often nourishes and sustains us, even when

our lives might be reasonably called praying, and what prayer does for us
and for the world. |

“The Manly Art of
Surrender.” the June 17 Sermon by Rev. Preston Moore, Co-Minister.(pdf)
In the masculine world, resistance is often equated with strength, and
vulnerability is often equated with weakness. If we look at surrender with
religious eyes, how is it different? Come ponder this question, illuminated
by masculine tales of power, piety, and intimacy—important for men and women
alike. |

"The Work Of The Soul."
the
June 10 Sermon by Rev. Jennifer Ryu, Co-Minister
(mp3)
When we do the work of the
church, for whose benefit do we volunteer our time and talents? It is easy
to think of church work as obligation, sacrifice, doing your fair share. But
what if the whole point of the work is to inspire spiritual transformation
of the people doing it? This is our aspiration for next year. Come find out
how we have already sown these seeds. |

At the Water's Edge: Toward a Reunion of Religion and Science" the April
22 sermon
By Rev. Preston Moore
(mp3)
Religion and Science are fighting like
cats and dogs these days. The fur is flying, in the form of shredded pages
from polemical books by the true believers of both camps. What should we
hope for? A brokered ceasefire? Or is there a deeper complementarity? |

The Maundy Thursday Sermon Topic April 5 by Rev. Preston Moore Co-Minister.
(pdf)
This is a short vespers worship service to
mark "Maundy Thursday" the day before Good Friday. I am not a traditional
Christian, but looking at this lesser-known piece of the Easter holidays
from a modern perspective put the death of Jesus in an entirely new light
for me. It just might do the same for you. |

"Being White in America"
the April 1 sermon
By Rev. Jennifer Ryu Co-Minister. (mp3)
What does it mean to be a
white person in America today? How do whites who care deeply for justice,
equity and compassion legitimately do the work of dismantling racism? It
starts with honest conversation; first with ourselves, then with others.
There are stories waiting to be excavated; truths waiting to be told. |

"UUism on the Brink"
the March 18 sermon By Rev. John T. Crestwell, Jr.
(mp3)
What if you were a part of a religion that
is becoming the religion of the present and future? Albert Einstein said,
"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion." In other words, this
religion would utilize the best of science in its theology, while
synthesizing ancient thoughts, thus creating a new religious paradigm in the
world! Why did a leader in the Mormon Church say that Unitarian Universalism
is "the most dangerous religion in America?" Come hear more from this guest
preacher, Rev. John T. Crestwell, Jr., from Davies Memorial Unitarian
Universalist Church. His church has been named a UUA Breakthrough
Congregation and will be recognized at the UUA's General Assembly in June
2007 in Portland Oregon. |

the March 4th sermon By Rev. Jennifer Ryu

mistakes? Are you making mistakes today that may turn out to be brilliant
tomorrow? And what does any of this have to do with living a good life? |

"Love In The Palm Of Your Hand"
the February 11th sermon by David Hamilton
(mp3) In an ocean of romantic stereotypes and superficial exhortations about
love, we live amidst hard truths. The best love we can give may not be
enough. There is a mismatch between what people need from each other and
what they are capable of giving. Yet if we are fortunate, our ability and
capacity to love grows with age and experience. If we can do no great
things, we can do small things with great love. This will be a guided tour
of love beyond the stereotypes to the nitty-gritty. |

skeptical of deeds done on the basis of blind faith, and yet we would not
call ourselves faithless. We are wary of wrapping our arms to tightly around
faith, and yet troubled at the idea of pushing it away. Come look upon these
dilemmas with new eyes. |
