Jonathan Prescott
Jonathan comes back with a message about gratitude. As it turns out, it is actually a trait that brings about a healthier body and mind. Scientists have discovered that feelings of gratitude can actually change your brain. There are even studies showing that people who count their blessings tend to be far happier and experience less depression and anxiety. By the time the service is over, we think you'll be in better shape than when you arrived! What's not to like about that?

Rev. Bruce Bode
“Spirit” and “soul” are often used interchangeably. This sermon, the second in a two-part series, will distinguish and contrast the meanings and values of these two words.

Rev. Bruce Bode
The theme for Sunday's sermon is a complicated one. With so many ideas and ways of looking at a single word "Spirit" you almost need a roadmap. The sermon outline printed here today is helpful in following the many twists and turns this word evokes. If possible, print off a copy and bring it with you to church!. See you Sunday. Service will be held at 10:30 a.m.

Rev. Dr. Barry Andrews
What lies on the other side of death? Myths, religions and philosophies have offered answers to this question. As a religious humanist I have pondered the question myself. Searching through the words of sages and poets, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mary Oliver, I’d like to explore intimations of immortality.

Jonathan Prescott
Ancestors — we know we have them, but who are they? What do they mean to us?Jonathan Prescott will join SUUF to look deeply into our ancestors. Will consider how ancestors gave us not only our bodies, but our very ways of seeing the world. Knowing that our ancestors made mistakes, we’ll explore how to forgive their warts and foibles so that we can become better ancestors ourselves.

Joseph Bednarik
The large map is on display behind plexiglass. A bold arrow points to a spot and three words announce, in no uncertain terms: "You are here." These three words – each on its own then working together - are profound: Individuality. Existence. Location. This sermon follows that arrow to a specific spot on the map, bows to the miracle of your existence, then asks "OK. Now what?"
