Future Sermons

Here you’ll find sermons and music from one to several weeks into the future. Occasionally the listed program may change.

May 18 “Growth: Not How, but Why, and for Whom?”
Rev. Karen Stoyanoff and Nancy Loughrey
9:30 & 11:15 a.m. Why did we adopt a goal of doubling our size? Surely it was not only to be bigger. Who are the people we are trying to serve? What difference will it make? We haven’t talked about these things recently. They should be shaping our strategy. Nancy Loughrey, President of OCUUC, will share her thoughts about our vision, why it is important, and whom we serve in the sermon. Karen will do the readings and a pulpit editorial.
Music: Orange Coast Choir will sing the opening song from Missa Gaia (Earth Mass), which will be featured in the June 14 concert.

May 25 “Auction Sermon”
Rev. Karen Stoyanoff, assisted by Dave Carlson
9:30 & 11:15 a.m. In our January auction, Dave Carlson bought the sermon that Karen Stoyanoff offered. It will be presented on May 25. David has chosen a theme of Palestinian issues, and he and Karen are working on the details right now. More specific information will be available in the next issue of the REACH.
Music: There will be two special songs about Palestine-Israel relations during this service, plus of course we’ll sing emma’s revolution’s song “Peace, Salaam, Shalom” together!
