Like any regular guest speaker I am happy to develop a topic in consultation with your congregation.

Popular Service Themes

The UU Butterfly Effect

They say a butterfly flapping its wings in America can cause a storm in China. Little changes have a ripple effect. Chaos theory explores this phenomena.

If a butterfly can have an impact in China, what can a single UU do in our chaotic world? This sermon looks at things we can do to harness our individual and collective power to change the world around us.

Becoming a Contagious UU

The best way to grow our faith isn't by trying to broadcast our faith to others, its by living a life that makes others take notice. No one ever longs to be of a particular religion, they long to be like a person they respect and admire. This sermon identifies the characteristics of truly contagious (inspiring) UU's.

 

Confessing your Faith

Many UU's feel awkward talking about church. Some don't know how to talk about our values. Other's don't want to feel pushy. This sermon explores the reasons why we don't talk more about being Unitarian Universalists and how to let the world (or at least your family, friends and colleagues) know you have UU values that matter.

Small Group Ministry
and Community Building

Small Group Ministry is a way of using an intentional small groups to accomplish the work of our faith. This ministry helps develop connection, explore meaning and engage with the larger world. Whether you are exploring the concept of small group ministry (a.k.a. covenant groups) for the first time or have been working with it for some time, an SGM service can do wonders to stimulate interest in this ministry.

The Famous Name Tag Service

Almost every congregation we've worked with has needed help with its welcoming. To prepare communities for transitioning to using new name tags, taking more responsibility for greeting, other important tasks we've designed a service JUST for congregations interested in building community and welcoming (and integrating) guests and newcomers.

I presented the children's message in Providence YEARSago and people still tell me they remember it and think of it when going to coffee hour.


The Perfect Minister

Hold on to your hats! We now have intelligent toys and video games, robots that can dance. Robo pets that simulate interest in humans. Our technologies are getting more human all the time. Perhaps one day we will build a robot that can do all the things we expect our ministers to do! Lord knows no one human can! This sermon honors shared and professional ministry and reminds us to keep in mind that we are all human. This sermon is ideal for communities in interim years.
