Why We Remember Them? An Ode to the Ancestors

This sermon invites us to ask not only what we inherit from the ancestors, but what legacy we ourselves are leaving behind. Please bring in an item from your ancestor or recently departed loved one. We will have a space to honor them.

More Than One Way to Be a Mother

From aunties to mentors to community elders, this sermon celebrates expansive definitions of motherhood. Rooted in UU pluralism, it invites us to recognize sacred care wherever it shows up, even outside traditional roles.

Love Outlives the Empire

Rome believed it had silenced a troublemaker. History tells another story. This sermon explores the resurrection as resistance and how love survives systems designed to crush it.  

What does it mean to be UU in Florida?

Membership here carries particular weight. In a politically charged climate, being UU may mean public courage, advocacy, and standing with those at risk. Or staying to tend the flame. This sermon invites new members into faith that shows up.
