March 1 | The Virtue of Skepticism - Pulpit Swap

As a radically progressive religious movement, today’s Unitarian Universalism is indebted to the skeptics of the past for questioning accepted “truths” of their day. In our current multiple institutional crises, discovering and preserving that which is true requires guarding against advertisements, propaganda, deep fakes, and AI fabrications. How do we cultivate virtuous skepticism that is not merely contrarian, but a consistent servant of truth and freedom?

— Rev. AJ VanTyne (First Unitarian)

​

March 8 | What It Means To Be Real

Let us begin the season of Truth by rejecting the idol of AI and embracing the messiness of humanity. 

— Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell

​

March 15 | Fatness, Not Fascism - Pulpit Swap!

Many of us carry stories about our bodies—stories shaped by shame, control, and the pressure to be “more” or “less.” We probably know that we’re not alone in carrying these stories, but what if this set of ideas isn’t just common but also part of a larger system that tells us who is worthy and who is not? Let's explore the connection between self-talk and truth, body policing and fascism, acceptance and freedom, and how honoring our bodies builds a more just and compassionate world.

— Rev. Shari Quan (First Unitarian)

 

March 22 | Hope Springs

A multigenerational story-based service to celebrate the dawn of spring and the wellsprings of hope inside each of us. 

— Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell

​

March 29 | Late to the Apocalypse

It sometimes feels like we’re living at the end of things, like these times are unprecedented. But if we look back at stories from our spiritual ancestors and from people around the world, we can see that we have been telling stories about apocalypse for a long time. So how do we make meaning of apocalypse in a world that keeps…not ending?

— Rev. Eileen Casey-Campbell

*First Universalist has a long-standing tradition of having one Sunday sermon a month be presented by someone other than our minister. Our lay-led services give our minister well-deserved unscheduled time, as well as allowing us to share our individual spiritual journeys, experiences and diverse world views, which is an important part of our rich Unitarian Universalist heritage.
