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.**

The Church Beyond This Church
Rev. Rick Hoyt, Guest Minister

A tension exists between our independent churches and our shared faith linking us to a community with a history and a future greater than one church alone. What's our responsibility to the UU churches across town? What could we do for ourselves and others if we claimed the poewr of the larger faith of Unitarian Universalism? In this old-fashioned pulpit exchange, Rev. REbecca Benefiel Bijur will preach this Sunday at the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, while Rev. Hoyt preaches here in Santa Monica.
