On the 250th anniversary of John Murray’s arrival in New Jersey and the first Universalist sermon preached in America, we’ll take a look at “Universalist love.”

To heal the world, we must start with healing ourselves and each other. We have to find the sparks within ourselves that may be hidden from us – perhaps occluded, covered over, by events in our lives.

In prior years, today would be Homecoming Sunday, signifying the end of our Summer Speaker series and the launch of a new program year.  We’d be returning to two services, listening to the choir sing new songs, and welcoming children back to their RE classrooms.  Although this Homecoming service will be different (i.e., entirely online), … Continue reading Each New Day: a (Stay at) Homecoming Service
