Church of the River Sermons

The third part of our "Cosmos" series, this week focuses on the stars beyond our solar system, and what our relationship with them teaches us about our own lives here on Earth.

In balance with the "Cosmos" series, this week we gather to consider the Earth and the lessons it might have to teach us.

The first part of our "Cosmos" series, this week's sermon will focus on The Moon and the people who know and love it.

It’s easy to put our Unitarian and Universalist forebears on pedestals, but how noble were they really? How do we simultaneously celebrate their wisdom, good works, and faults… and our own?

Join us for a Collaborative sermon from Meredith Barber and Rev. Sam Teitel reflecting on the distinction between history and memory, and what this distinction means for us as people of faith.

What is the difference between history and memory? And what does that mean to us as people of faith and Americans when we are trying to tell the difference between what is true and what is not?

Join us this week for our final installment of our exorcism series focusing on hate. This week we will consider together how to make meaning of some of the hatefulness in our world without letting it consume us.

For the third installment of our Exorcism series, this week we will be talking about indifference and the ways in which indifference can still have lasting results on the world around us.

This week we continue our exorcism series with a second installment focusing on fear. This week Rev. Sam will also cop to the glaring exegetical error in last week's sermon.

The worship theme for January is "Joy Comes in the Morning: An Exorcism in Four Parts." Today is Part 1: Anger.

Author bell hooks says, "Redeemed and restored, love returns us to the promise of everlasting life. When we love we can let our hearts speak." Can you imagine a love so big, it changes the world? This morning, we will explore this expansive grace that is ours to claim.
