The Five Points of the New Theology 
January 24: Rev. Megan Foley
In 1886, Unitarian minister and theologian James Freeman Clarke published an essay entitled “The Five Points of Calvinism and the Five Points of the New Theology,” wherein he laid out what he considered to be the new theological direction of liberal Christianity.  In this first of two sermons, we take a look at these five points.  What has formed the basis of what Unitarian Universalists believe today?  And what have we left far behind? 

Liberal Religion meets Neo-Conservatism 
January 31: Rev. Megan Foley
In this second of a two-part sermon series, we take a look at the second generation of James Freeman Clarke’s Five Points of the New Theology – the generation of liberal thinkers who took us into the First World War.  How did Clarke’s theology hold up through the events of the first half of the 20th century?  And what does that tell us Unitarian Universalists today? 

Doing Your Best
February 7: Gus Vandermeeren
We're sometimes told, and sometimes tell our children, to "Just do your best".  But what does that mean?  How do I know if I'm doing my best? How does my view of "best" influence my opinion of myself and others?

Plato’s Three Loves 
February 14: Rev. Megan Foley
We all feel different kinds of love all the time, different when we’re talking about our friends, our spouse, our kids, our church members…our enemies….Come to this Valentine’s Day service and take a look at the three different kinds of love that Plato talked about.  Which one do we need the most in church?

Our Religious Journeys 
February 28th: Rev. Megan Foley

Researchers have developed five stages of religious development that loosely correspond with our emotional and maturational development.  What’s interesting about religious development is that it doesn’t always proceed in one line and there isn’t an ideal stage – just what’s right for you now and where you want to go next.  What stage are you in?  What stage is your church in?  Come and find out this Sunday. 

Stewardship Sunday:  The Gifts We Bring 
March 7: Rev. Megan Foley

It takes a lot of work to make a church – gifts of time, effort, money, heart and soul.  We give a lot, and in the giving we gain much more: a community of faith, filled with people who care about us and who work with us towards a better future.  Come this Sunday where we’ll talk about the gifts we give and the gifts we receive at SCUU.
