All of Us, Redux, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, April 26, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

Coming of Age Sunday celebrates the signature yearlong journey of our ninth grade youth, transitioning from the inherited faith of childhood to the adult journey of faith, and marked by youth sharing their statement of faith or credo. Coming of Age gives us a glimpse of what is to come: a Unitarian Universalism that continues to embrace our vision of a community based not on shared beliefs, but a commitment to each other, and what we can do together. This podcast begins with a reflection by Drew Danielson, Coordinator of Youth and Campus Ministries.

Open Eyes, Open Heart, Amy Brunell, April 19, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

What if the most radical spiritual act is looking closer? Religious Naturalism is a faith practice that finds the sacred not beyond the natural world but entwined into the very core of it. It is the practice of interdependence. When we ground ourselves to look closely at what is actually real, something unexpected happens — call it reverence, call it wonder, call it joy. Come ready to see differently. This podcast begins with a reflection by Worship Associate Charlie Caswell.

Are We Thomas?, Rev. Shay MacKay, April 12, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

Are we a faith of believers or skeptics? Do our joyful visions depend on what we know to be true or on what we hope to be true? Join this conversation about doubt (and faith). This sermon podcast begins with a reflection offered by Worship Associate Anna Newton.

All of Us, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, April 5, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

Jesus, in at least one version of the Easter story, died a human being and came back as a community. One vision of resurrection, in our tradition, is a community in which all of us are needed, gathered in a beloved community of mutual care and thriving. As the ice melts and spring comes, what comes next for this place? This sermon podcast begins with a reflection offered by Worship Associate Sarah Cledwyn.

No Kings, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, March 29, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

In the Christian tradition, the Sunday before Easter, Palm Sunday, marks a celebration of Jesus’s entrance into Jerusalem, a moment when power and meaning were inverted. The power of the day existed, not with a political establishment or temple, but with a community gathered and proclaiming that a better world was possible. One where all of us are included. This podcast begins with a reflection offered by Worship Associate Dick Buggs.

Flights of Fancy, Rev. Shay MacKay, March 22, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

Let's talk about speculative fiction! When can pop culture and escapism inspire us and when does it offer only empty promises of relief and fulfillment? This podcast begins with a reflection by Worship Associate Veronica Nordeng DeVillez.

You Are Not Alone, Amy Brunell, March 8, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

Choosing to be alone is different from loneliness. Sometimes even in the midst of people, I feel a sense of loneliness. It often surprises me. I like spending time alone, but that is a choice I can make rather than feeling like I’m all alone. Many people at this moment feel all alone. Perhaps modernity has separated us even more? What is our call as Unitarian Universalists to respond to this feeling of loneliness? Let us worship and consider further. This podcast begins with a refelction from Worship Associate Meg Arnosti.

The God-Shaped Hole, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, March 1, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

Liz Slade, the leader of the Unitarian and Free Christian Churches in the UK, writes about finding a "god shaped hole" in her life, and finding her way to a church that did not ask her to fill it with anything she did not believe. We know people come to church looking for something, but how do we understand the hunger that brings people here? This sermon podcast begins with a reflection and reading from Worship Associate Ollie Stocker.

Love at the Center, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, February 22, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

In 2023, Unitarian Universalists decided to describe ourselves as a faith movement with love at the center. This Sunday, join members of Unity’s ministry team in conversation as we consider how, three years after that decision, we understand love as an expression of our theology? This sermon is a series of reflections in order: Rev. Shay MacKay, Worship Associate Sarah Cledwyn, Hallman Ministerial Intern Amy Brunell, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair.

The Power of Love, Rev. Dr. Oscar Sinclair, February 15, 2026

Sunday Sermon Podcast

“In the fullness of time, even the devil will be redeemed.” Our Universalist ancestors preached that love was the most powerful force in the world — that God’s love for humanity transcended and triumphed over any human capacity for wrong. How does this heritage find expression today, as we confront the brokenness around us with love? This sermon podcast begins with a reflection by Worship Associate Betsy Hearn.
