Many of us are suddenly far more intimate with co-workers, colleagues, friends and family. The sermon is recorded in my bedroom-office! How are you dealing with the sudden vulnerability and the difference between who you are in the world and who you are at home?

"The Exhaustion of Zoom"

Zoom gatherings have saved us during this pandemic. But why do they exhaust us so? It's because the mind tells us that we are together while our bodies feel the absence. That dissonance is exhausting. What knowledge do our bodies have that can renew us in this time of physical distancing?

"Breaking the Auto-Renewal"

Lately my life feels like groundhog day. Let's talk about renewal in the midst of social-isolation.

Rev. Dr. Robin Tanner preaching.

"The Real Meaning of Alleluia!"

From the Christian tradition, we will explore this celebration of life and the meaning of resurrection and renewal for Unitarian Universalists today. Music with Misa Iwama, Jackie Jones, and John O'Neill.

"Planting Seeds of Renewal"

It is a time of planting seeds for a future harvest. It is true for the earth as well as humanity. How can we plant gardens of renewal in our daily lives?

"We Rise Together!"

The virus shines a light into the shadows of America, specifically that 140 million Americans live without health insurance, living wages, clean water or voter protections. That's 43% of our country!! Let us build a new "normal" for America in which our prosperity is defined by the prosperity of our poorest citizens.

Rev Emilie Boggis preaching with a story from Jamaine Cripe, meditation from Rev Dr Robin Tanner, music from Misa Iwama and John O'Neill and guest speakers from Beacon members. A special good-bye as well to Laura Beth Brown, our Family Ministry Director.

"Emergency"

Our first virtual service as we entered the new reality of social distancing. Rev Dr Robin Tanner shares the power and potential of our actions in an emergency.
