Sunday Sermons: Autumn 2019
Note: All services begin at 10am unless noted otherwise.
October 6 - Democracy, Freedom and Music –Caryl Whiteman
Throughout the history of the United States, justice has been a voice in advocating for rights and freedoms. Join us as we explore the voices that have led us in singing for our freedoms. Musicians for the service include Kenn Fox, Mare Edstrom, Greg Valde and the LCUUC Choir.
* Collections will go to the Sussex Food Pantry.
October 13 - It's Gonna Be Epic! –Charley Earp
Big Stories inspire and enrich our lives. From science fiction adventures to fantasy epics, we find power in these genres. Religious traditions also have this power and present resources of wisdom to guide our lives. Charley Earp is from Chicago, IL, and was most recently the Intern Minister at the Third Unitarian Church of Chicago from 2016-18. LCUUC’s Board of Trustees is currently considering Charley Earp for the Part-Time Contract Minister position.
October 20 - You Can Only Get Here with Me –Rev. Tony Larsen
You know that old expression, "You can’t get there from here”? Well, Tony’s sermon this Sunday will suggest maybe you can’t even get HERE from here! That is, it is necessary to journey somewhere else before you can know where you already were. This may be the most important part of “belonging”.
* Collection will go to The Hope Center
October 27 - Social Justice and Zen –Erich Moraine
What is it about humans that we are able to land spacecraft on the moons of Jupiter and see into the tiniest bits of matter with enormous machines but can't find decent housing, safe water, honest work, and good food for all of us? We are becoming smarter, wealthier, and more capable as a species but continue to face reoccurring cycles of poverty, prejudice, violence, and marginalization which seem to resist our best efforts to change. How is this possible? What can we do about it?

November 3 - Faith and Religion - Conflict or Complement –Scott Hendrix
59% of Americans think religion and science conflict with one another, which can be challenging for people of faith. But is this issue that simple? This talk will explore some of the historical interactions between religion and science, in order to understand how these two different approaches to understanding the world have interacted both in the past as well as today.
