Sermons by Rev. Sian Wiltshire (Page 6)
The Promise of Belonging
Our US Surgeon General has declared an epidemic of loneliness. As a community we strive to help everyone beat loneliness and feel a sense of belonging. But can we cure people’s loneliness? We just might. Come hear Rev. Sian Wiltshire’s cure for loneliness.
Life Lessons
We have all had life lessons that helped us grow. Some were easy and some hard (ok, most were hard!). What lessons is your life teaching you know? Come explore this topic with Rev. Sian Wiltshire.
Climate Justice Revival
To top off our amazing month of September, we will be joining Unitarian Universalists around the country in holding a Climate Justice Revival. Read the Reach for more information and stay tuned.
Do We Really Have to Love Those We Hate?!
In this polarized nation, it’s hard to not hate. People often stand up against that which we feel so strongly the opposite. What do you do when it’s your family or friend? Note: This sermon topic was suggested by auction winner, Dave C.
Water Ceremony Sunday!
Come join us as we take a “plunge” into the future, with our annual Water Ceremony. All are welcome! Think about what you would like to invite into your life this coming church year and you are invited to bring water that is meaningful to you but, as always, there is symbolic water for everyone to use.
Groundbreaking!
Yes! It’s finally here! We are breaking ground on our new sanctuary. Come celebrate with us as we honor where we’ve been and where we are going.
Love Talk
Leading a life with heart. What if you died tomorrow? Would you leave this earth knowing that your loved ones knew of your love? Or would they mourn you without ever knowing? How do we live every day with love at the center?
Surrender!
The word “Surrender” is often associated with weakness, but when is it a strength?
State of the UUnion
Lots has happened in our denomination and in our country lately. We live in interesting times! Join Rev. Sian Wiltshire as she reflects on what it means to be a democracy (or not) in both these areas of our lives.
Make us a Sanctuary!
This wonderful church has been a sanctuary for Ukrainians, but also for so many others who need our love-centered faith. Let’s celebrate and embrace our “sanctuary-ness.” The OCUUC Annual Meeting will be after the service and we will also be giving a Blessing to our Ukrainian guests.
Cultivating Peace: Ending Gun Violence
Come join Rev. Sian and Katherine Martin, of Mom’s Demand Action and OCUUC member, as we explore how we can all cultivate peace in a time of gun violence. After the service there is an opportunity to do a peaceful demonstration on the corner of Mesa Verde and Adams. Bring signs and wear orange to honor Gun Violence Awareness Day!
Curiosity Didn’t Kill the Cat. It’s Question Box Sunday!
Bring your questions about life, the universe, the congregation, and everything and Rev. Sian will do her best to answer them.
