The King James Version has been considered by most as the standard for biblical texts. Even among religious liberals, agnostics and atheists, if the Bible is read it must be the KJV. This year is the 400th anniversary of the KJV (1611). Let's explore its history and value and in turn come to a deeper understanding of a book that some suggest might be found in every home in the western hemisphere.

Many of you use the online encyclopedia called Wikipedia, which "is written collaboratively by largely anonymous Internet volunteers who write without pay. Anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles (except in certain cases where editing is restricted to prevent disruption or vandalism). Users can contribute anonymously, under a pseudonym, or with their real identity, if they choose." How about Wikivita - an ongoing writing and editing of life, your life, the life we share, the larger Life. What a ride! Join me this morning as I look at the journey of life through the window of Wiki.

This sermon is dedicated to sermon auction winners Ken Apfel and Caroline Hadley. Today, Rev. John will examine from several perspectives on why it is time for a new campaign against poverty and why we are building a permanent under "caste" today due to spiritual deprivation. Come hear more!

What does it mean to be part of the interconnected web? On this Green Sanctuary Sunday, please join Intern Minister, Kimberly, and Green Sanctuary members, in a spirit-filled exploration of ethical eating.

Once a month UUCA has a "Spirited Worship" which is a multigenerational worship service for the entire congregation. A story is told throughout the service and the rest of the liturgy is woven around the story. In this episode we are featuring the music of Spirt Sundays featuring our Sounds of Spirit Choir & Band, directed by Rev. John and Betsy Kraning. The group has over 40 people members! The idea behind the music for this Sunday is that it be contemporary, alive or "spirited" and simple for all generations to embrace. Enjoy this sampling of the music that inspires so many each month at UUCA!

The life and message of Jesus is grabbed and shaped by groups of all sorts. Has the meaning and direction of Jesus simply become a social and spiritual Rorschach? Can you read him any way you want? Of course not! For (U)Us his message remains a transforming and profound one. Join me this Sunday as I reflect on this message.

As we continue to explore the monthly theme of “Transformation”, come explore with Intern Minister, Kimberly, the meaning of “retreat” and how it can transform each of us and our faith community.
