Speakers and topics are accurate as of the "Last Updated" date above.  Topics without quotes indicate a general area.  For specific titles, check back on a particular speaker at the beginning of the  month when s/he is scheduled to speak. 

Copies of Sunday sermons are available  here on the website.       Tapes of services may be borrowed for a short time.

Audio headphones are available during the service for those who are hard of hearing; they are in the back of the church by the audio equipment.    Large print hymnals are available -  ask an usher.

If severe weather forces us to cancel a Sunday service, we will notify our members via email,  the website, and the Fellowship answering machine.

In the interest of maintaining an unbroken flow of the service, please save applause for the music until after the postlude - or simply convey your appreciation to the musician(s) at coffee.
Rev. David Breeden's  sermons for the fall, into winter, will be based on the five big theological questions discussed by Unitarian Universalist  ministers John A. Buehrens and Rebecca Ann Parker in their new book A House for Hope: The Promise of Progressive Religion for the Twenty-first Century (Amazon).    Kindle Edition.

The five big theological questions are:
  • Ecclesiology: How Should We Be and Act together?  (September 26)
  • Missiology: What is Our Mission to the World? (October 10)
  • Soteriology:  What Can Save Us? (October 17)
  • Eschatology: What is the End and Purpose of It All?  (November 7)
  • Anthropology:  What Does it Mean to be Human? (November 21)
  •  "The Five Big Questions: How it All Fits Together" (December 5)
