Rev. Dr. John T. Morehouse - Senior MinisterJanuary 12, 2021 by Rev. Dr. John T. Morehouse - Senior Minister

A Minister’s Message – Now What? – January 12, 2021

It seems amazing to me that it has been less than a week since the attack on the Capitol. Less than a week for us to see the raw ugliness that comes from spewing lies and hatred over years, perhaps even decades. Less than a week for many of us to come to grips with […]

A Minister’s Message – New Year, New Habits – January 5, 2021

While January 1 is just a date on a calendar, it represents an opportunity for us to take notice of where we are and where we hope to go. Like many of you, I have tried and failed at resolutions over the years. I have achieved several, the most notable was to stop making resolutions […]

A Minister’s Message – Reminders of Hope and Resilience – December 29, 2020

My Christmas cactus bloomed between Thanksgiving and Solstice this year, at the end of a long fall semester, weighted down by pandemic and paper writing. Each summer, I take Amtrak overnight from Chicago to New York state, and spend time with the childhood friend who introduced me to Unitarian Universalism. She and her husband live […]

A Minister’s Message – ‘Twas – December 15, 2020

I offer this little verse from a friend of mine shared widely on the internet. Enjoy! T’was a month before Christmas, and all through the town, People wore masks, that covered their frown. The frown had begun way back in the Spring, When a global pandemic changed everything. They called it corona, but unlike the […]

A Minister’s Message – Faith in Difficult Times – December 8, 2020

Just today I had the privilege of leading a class for the Interfaith Seminar hosted by our friends over at Temple Israel. We had several dozen people in the ZOOM room from many faith traditions. The topic assigned to me was “Maintaining Faith in Difficult Times.” I began my comments by telling the people there […]

A Minister’s Message – The Color of Advent – December 1, 2020

This coming Sunday, December 6th is the second Sunday of Advent. In the Christian calendar, Advent are the four Sundays preceding Christmas, which are rich in expectation and hope in the birth of Jesus. As the nights lengthen we would do well to embrace the symbols and rituals of gathering light that harken a new […]

A Minister’s Message – Why Give Thanks? – November 24, 2020

The more that we humans increase our awareness, the more that we need to make adjustments in the way we live and interact. At this time, I am thinking about Thanksgiving. The picture of the so-called first Thanksgiving, I am now aware, was a small pixel taken out of a very large picture. I don’t […]

A Minister’s Message – A Reciprocal Relationship – November 17, 2020

I had wondered if I had somehow missed the brilliant red of maple leaves, but finally found them this week, forming umbrellas of red and brilliant sunlight over littered ground. Creating red circles among lawns of green, contrasting elsewhere against yellow. As life’s restrictions have stretched through months, I am thankful for noticing changes I […]

A Minister’s Message – Hope Again – November 10, 2020

What a difference a week makes! Last week at this time we were anxiously awaiting the election results. Today we know that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have won. It took a pandemic and the tremendous energy of millions of volunteers to get millions more to the polls and to mail in ballots. As the […]

A Minister’s Message – Election Day – November 3, 2020

Today is a day unlike any other. The most important election in our lifetimes, perhaps in the history of these United (Divided?) States, is upon us. I take it as a good sign that almost 100 million people have already voted, and many more will vote today. If nothing else, this election, coupled as it […]
