Sermon by Rev. Jay Wolin
Monday is Yom HaShoah, the International Remembrance of the Jewish Holocaust during WW2. I will explore what is meant by genocide and why It is important for all of us to remember genocide. However remembering is not enough. The goal should be to prevent future genocides. Never Again means Never Again for anyone. Click on the image to view the live stream...

I will explore the proposed changes to the Unitarian Universalist Association bylaws which would change the list of Sources of Wisdom that inform our living tradition to become a section entitled “Inspirations.” I will also share what has inspired me in my life and about Unitarian Universalism.

June 2: Service at 10:30 am:
Sermon by Rev. Jay Wolin
The title of today’s service is the motto of the United States: “out of many, one.” The non-creedal nature of Unitarian Universalism leads us to a theological plurality. I would therefore say Unitarian Universalism is the quintessential American religion. In our many theological differences where do we find our unity?
Music: choir
