Unitarian Universalism has a long rich history.  It has roots in the Judeo-Christian heritage, the radical reformation and the Enlightenment.  It is a central part to US history. Six US Presidents and most of the great American writers and social reformers of the 19th century were Unitarians. In the 20th century, it has taken an active role in the civil rights, gay rights and environmental movements. Unitarian Universalism has no creed, and welcomes and respects those of all theological perspectives who wish to part of a community of shared values, mutual support, and service to others.  In a world where different religious beliefs often lead to conflict, Unitarian Universalists recognize that they are enriched in their search for truth and meaning by many sources and traditions. 

This would be a great Sunday for anyone who might be interested in Unitarian Universalism to attend.  Spread the word and invite a friend! At the 11 Am service our choir will be singing the anthem, “We Are" by Ysaye Barnwell and "All Lifted Up" from the Cantata "Sources" which is about the places from which we derive our Unitarian Universalist heritage. At both the services there will be great singing of both traditional and contemporary hymns as well as instrumental music.

The Rev. Ken Sawyer

The Rev. Sawyer will be preaching on “Randomness” and the roles of chance and choice in life.  Rev. Sawyer is minister emeritus of the First Parish in Wayland, at which he served as senior minister for 38 years before retiring in July.

The Rev. Bill Clark will examine the idea of a life lived with illness and disease.  Drawing on his own experience of living with severe heart disease, Rev. Clark will ask the difficult questions, “How do we make sense of a life living with illness and disease? Where can we find meaning in such a life?”

Ministry is The Rev. William Clark’s second career. He worked within the Deaf Culture for 25 years; teaching deaf children, interpreting and teaching ASL. Rev. Clark attended Harvard Divinity School. He has served our UU Congregations in Houston, Texas and Lexington, MA.  Following emergency heart surgery in 2007 life changed! He lives in Provincetown and currently serves as a Community Minister affiliated with the UU Meeting House of Provincetown.
