September 27, 2026: Richard Zyne: Topic: Jesus at Walmart
Description: Everything at Walmart seemed more expensive, and even my favorite pickled artichoke hearts had gone up 6.7 percent. I don’t know who tracks the price of pickled artichoke hearts, but apparently somebody does, and I took it personally. Thank God I could still afford a dozen eggs, although a gallon of milk was starting to look suspiciously like a gallon of gasoline. At this rate, we may soon have to finance breakfast.
And then I saw him. Jesus was standing right there in Walmart, looking at me with the kind of gentle expression I imagine he carried through Galilee. My first thought wasn’t especially spiritual. I wondered if Jesus liked pickled artichoke hearts.
Join us for “Jesus at Walmart,” a sermon by Richard Zyne about finding Christ in the most ordinary places—and discovering that sometimes the sacred shows up right in the middle of the peanut butter aisle.
Recent Past Services
August 23, 2026: Speaker: Steve Elliott. Topic: John Rawls, American political philosopher on Justice and Fairness.
August 30, 2026: Speaker: Peter Rowell. Topic: Do we have free will?
September 13, 2026: Speaker: Rev. Pat Haresch. Topic: Rev. Pat will join us for our first Sunday in this 2026-2027 congregational year. The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is rolling out a new monthly themed all ages curriculum starting this month. Rev. Pat hopes to weave back and forth between the UUA themes and world religions as she speaks throughout the year. On Sunday she will reflect upon September's UUA theme of Interdependence. In our day, Potawatomi Nation author and botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer suggests rather than just a Declaration of Independence, perhaps we might raise a pledge of interdependence. Not just among people, but also the natural world. UUs recently reaffirmed our shared value of honoring the interdependent web of all existence and that love is at our center.
September 20, 2026: Rev. Patricia Guthmann Haresch: Topic: Thinking About Religion
Description: Over this coming congregational year, Rev. Pat will be highlighting aspects of different world religions. Perhaps we should start by exploring what is religion, when did it begin in the course of human history, what role does it play in the life of a community, the life of an individual, how is it different over time and amongst different peoples? Rev. Pat will be curious to learn from you, what you're interested in learning and exploring about world religions.
