Places in the Heart (Flower Communion)

by Rev. Roger Bertschausen

Roger doesn’t remember a lot about “Places in the Heart” other than the 1984 movie’s ending: a communion service in a small town Texas church. We gradually realize that the service is attended by characters living and dead, wronged and wrong-doers alike. Roger often finds himself remembering that scene of hope and reconciliation when we celebrate Flower Communion.

In Celebration of the Stories that Bind

by Rev. Leah Hart-Landsberg

Stories—the ones we hear, tell and re-tell—are a big part of how we know who we are. They help us belong to our communities, understand our traditions and shape our futures. Please bring a book to donate. You’ll also be invited to purchase a copy of our common read book, which will be the inspiration for a service next fall.

Tradition!

by Rev. Roger Bertschausen

Unitarian Universalism has a reputation within and beyond our faith as being on the non-traditional end of the religious spectrum. This makes sense, and yet, it’s also true that we have traditions. They just are different traditions from many more orthodox religions. Being on the cusp of a ministerial transition makes this an opportune time to examine our faith’s and our Fellowship’s traditions.

Sources of Revelation

by Rev. Roger Bertschausen

One of the theological declarations of Unitarian Universalism has been “Revelation is not sealed.” This means that we don’t believe that revelation (or if you prefer, Truth or Life) wasn’t granted once and for all in the Bible or another sacred scripture. We believe there are lots more sources of revelation or truth. This sermon will explore these sources.

Death, Forgiveness, Love and Big Joy

by Rev. Roger Bertschausen

Death, forgiveness, love, joy: the Easter story had it all. It can tell us something about all these important parts of life. EVERYBODY OF ALL AGES IS INVITED TO WEAR AN EASTER BONNET OR HAT! Heck, this might be an occasion even to dress up for Fellowship (if you feel moved). Children and youth will participate in Easter games and activities.

Birds of a Feather

by Rev. Vail Weller

Perhaps you’ve heard of a “murder of crows,” an “exaltation of larks,” a “parliament of owls” or an “ostentation of peacocks.” This morning, we will ask what “murmuration of Unitarian Universalists” might be. Join us as our spirits take wing! Rev. Vail Weller is the Congregational Giving Director at the Unitarian Universalist Association. She is an inspiring speaker and in her good friend Roger Bertschausen’s opinion a very cool person. It’s a thrill to have her visit.
