Sermons

This is a full list of sermons presented at UUCCSM since mid-1999. Links to sermon texts are included when made available by their authors. Audio recordings are also available for most sermons presented after September, 2007 by our staff ministers and others directly affiliated with our church (just click the speaker icon next to each sermon where it's available*). Audio from guest speakers is posted only when we have their permission to share it.

Hard copies of sermons by Rev. Jeremiah Kalendae are available in the church office. Contact office assistant Sibylla Nash at office@uusm.org if you have a request.

"Leaving Room for Hope: Sermons for Uncertain Times," a book of Minister Emerita Judith Meyer's sermons, is available here.

**Please Note: Video recordings are available for sermons with a small TV icon showing at the bottom of the sermon listing. Just click the icon to watch the service.**

Blessing of the Animals
Monthly Theme: Brokenness
Rev. Rebecca Benefiel Bijur, Nica Eaton-Guinn, Catherine Farmer Loya
In this special intergenerational service we will celebrate the joy our animal companions bring to our lives and affirm our 7th Principle, "respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part." Well-behaved pets accustomed to sharing space with other animals and many new people, as well as animal companions comfortable in cages, are welcome to attend worship that morning. You can also bring a photo or other memento of your animal, or of a pet who has passed away.
