Sunday, January 2, 2022 - Worthy Now –Caryl Whiteman, LCUUC Member
Let’s start the New Year by joining the Church of the Larger Fellowship. We will learn about and share our support for their ministry and mission by watching this video service together.
Sunday, January 9, 2022 - Seed Catalogs –Rev. Carin Bringelson
Planting a garden requires intention, forethought, and planning. We don’t always know what the harvest will reap, but we do know nothing will grow in the fall if we don’t do some work the previous winter. During this month of “Living with Intention, let’s come together to imagine what this next church phase can be, and what we need to compost, cultivate, and water in order to make our “garden bloom.”
Sunday, January 16, 2022 - Say Yes to Choice: Reproductive Justice in the 21st Century –Rev. Carin Bringelson
As we begin our 30 Days of Love celebration on this Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, let us remember that Unitarian Universalism has a long legacy of advocating for safe, legal, accessible abortion care for anyone who needs it. Come explore the theological underpinnings that support our work to Side with Love as the United States prepares to mark the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling.
Sunday, January 23, 2022 - Can I be a humanist Jewish Buddhist Christian Pagan Unitarian Universalist? –Arthur Thexton, an “upraised UU”
The spiritual or religious impulse is a natural, and nearly universal, part of being a human being. Even the most hard-core rationalist, scientific humanists developed faith systems to explain and celebrate the sense of awe they feel in the face of the overpowering forces which are beyond our control; they often just don't want to call that faith “religion.” But a faith in which there is no god is just as much a leap of hope as the faith that there is one, or more. So, what of us Unitarian Universalists?
Sunday, January 30, 2022 - Living Into Our Commitment –Dr. Elías Ortega, President of Meadville Lombard Theological School and Professor of Religion, Ethics, and Leadership
In this sermon, we will discuss ways in which living into our commitments is an invitation and a sacred task. It is an invitation to be a people committed to repairing harm and restoring covenant. When we live into our commitments as a sacred task, we are transformed by the work we do into the beloved community's likeness.

Sunday, February 6, 2022 - Black Lives, White Lies –Rev. Tony Larsen, Guest Preacher
For the last 2 years the Black Lives Matter movement has shared the news spotlight with Covid-19 — and in a strange way the two themes have intertwined around each other. Today’s sermon will explore some of the reasons why many white people think we’ve conquered racism (especially since we’ve already had a black president) — and the facts that make it clear we have so much further to go. Rev. Dr. Tony Larsen serves as the minister at Unitarian Church North in Mequon, WI.
Sunday, February 13, 2022 - Siding with Love –Rev. Carin Bringelson and colleagues
Join Rev. Carin and a range of Unitarian Universalist leaders for the Side With Love worship service. It will feature stirring music, deep-hearted reflection, and moving testimonies.
Sunday, February 20, 2022 - The Sacredness of Seeking –Rev. Elizabeth McCord, Guest Preacher
Our spiritual paths often call us inward to prayer, reflection, and other restorative-reconciling practices. We will explore together the benefits and challenges of committing to regular spiritual disciplines, as well as consider how our internal seeking manifests in externalized kindness and compassion. Rev. Elizabeth McCord serves as the Chaplain at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI.
Sunday, February 27, 2022 - Imagining Reparations –LCUUC Social Justice Committee
Join LCUUC’s Social Justice Committee as we explore the need for Reparations. How is it possible to repair the damage done to African Americans, who throughout the history of the U.S., including the present day, have been robbed of their wealth, their power and their truth? How can we imagine Reparations? Why us? Why now
