When we gather together on Sunday mornings, we look for so much: sanctuary, meaning,
understanding, a call to action, help, hope, comfort, love, acceptance. It is a tall order, and
one that a minister cannot fill all by herself. Instead, it is a team effort: music coordinators,
lay leaders, ushers, greeters, and more. Additionally, I believe that those who attend our
worship are also participants and co-creators of the experience. This is one of the key differences between a Sunday worship service and a lecture. The worship experience is grounded in a specific community, at a particular time and place, with specific participants. It is this experience of being grounded in a religious community, creating worship together, that brings the experience into the realm of the sacred.
I enjoy visiting UU congregations, and providing a Sunday program for a congregation gives me an excuse to do so! I have spoken at more than 35 congregations ranging from the very small to the very large. It is always a unique experience for me.
Please see my listing on Stonetree for a list of current services available.
For each of my services, I supply readings, hymn selections, chalice lightings, and opening and closing words as well as the body of the service (sermon). Some of the services below include multimedia pieces as well. I prefer to fit these into your standard order of service, so will work to create the service with you.
If you do not see anything on my listing on Stonetree that is of interest to you, I would be willing to work with you to create a service specifically for your congregation. I enjoy the opportunity to create new services. Let me know what works best for you!
