During the summer I decided I would preach a series on the UU values
represented in the UUA’s article II. Last week we explored the value of Generosity, and this week we will be exploring the Values of Justice and Equity.

Often, the first thing that comes to mind regarding generosity is giving money and time. Generosity though, is something much bigger; it is a lifestyle. It involves a way that we live into our mutuality. Generosity is the balance between giving and receiving and the inherent understanding that all human beings deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Generosity rem...

We are the stories we tell. Not just the stories we tell of ourselves but also the
stories we tell about one another. This narrative is made up of perspectives that
we form from the experience of both joy and our sorrow. It is easy to forget that the world we see, though real, is perceived only through our senses, the eyes, the ears, the hands. That there are colors and sounds that we will never know, and narratives, no matter how m...
It is our tradition to celebrate Mother’s Day at Hope Unitarian Church with a flower communion. Flower communion itself though held at different times of the year in different churches dates to Prague in 1923 and was created by Norbert Čapek and was brought to the United States by his wife Mája Čapek following World War II. This tradition gives us an opportunity to focus on the beauty of the world around us, and the beauty that we...
Pluralism is seldom understood by those who do not value it, yet these are the people who generally define it. Unitarian Universalism is a liberal, pluralistic religion. It is important for us to define and understand this value for ourselves. Come and learn about it this Sunday.

Wyrd, in Norse pagan and related traditions, is essentially the woven fabric of reality, and each being/power in Existence has a thread in it. This service, we're going to get a little wyrd and explore how everything, everywhere, is connected and concurrent, from mycelial networks to star nurseries to you and me and our neighbors across the world. Please join me, and bring ...
In Ancient Egyptian Mythology the heart of the dead is weighed against Ma’at, the goddess of harmony, justice, and morality. Ma’at is represented by a feather and the heart must be lighter than Ma’at’s feather if the spirit wants to pass into the afterlife. Though we may no longer fear this judgement, we still come to one another with heavy hearts, loaded down with the baggage of resentments. When left unchecked, these heavy heart...

You might notice the similarity in titles between this week and last week’s sermon. Last week I focused in on the theme of Justice and Equity through the idea of, Gospel meaning Good News. This week I will continue with this theme, expounding on the idea of preaching good news to the poor. This theologic...

This week I will be preaching the sermon I prepared for last week when we got snowed out. I did change the title because there will be no soup this coming week.

Liberating Love Part 1: Embrace REV. JUSTIN M MCCREARY
JANUARY 7TH, 2024 - 11:00 AM As a faith, Unitarian Universalism centers itself theologically around Love. This might sound simple; however, the meaning and expression of love is often debated. From Romantic Comedies to heartbreaking ballads, love is characterized as one of the simplest and most complicated concepts in the human collective unconscious. There is nothing that...
