Rev. Dr. John T. Morehouse - Senior MinisterApril 6, 2021 by Rev. Dr. John T. Morehouse - Senior Minister

A Minister’s Message – The Grace of Neighbors – April 6, 2021

Some years ago, I knew an African American woman who had moved into a very white neighborhood. She had just lost her husband and son in a traffic accident and, as a single Mom, was doing her best to raise her other son. Her new home was to be a place of hope and renewal. […]

A Minister’s Message – Journey to Becoming – March 30, 2021

We are in the midst of Holy Week in the Christian Calendar. The week commemorates the journey Jesus took from his home in Galilee into Jerusalem during the festival of Passover. As so often happens, the Christian story of Easter runs parallel to the Jewish Festival of Passover. Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday which […]

A Minister’s Message – Dawn of a New Season – March 23, 2021

Last Saturday was the Spring Equinox, and again I went to the beach at dawn, an experience utterly different from the November morning when I was last there, under overcast skies and buried in apprehensive news on the radio. My boots marked my pace and my eyes looked ahead to avoid crushing anything precious, but […]

A Minister’s Message – One Year Later – March 16, 2021

What a difference a year makes. A year ago we shut down our worship service to in-person attendance. The first service of the pandemic was broadcast on my IPhone over Facebook. It was something of a disaster. The picture from the phone was like looking into a mirror; the sanctuary appeared reversed. The signal kept […]

A Minister’s Message – Storm or Rain? – March 9, 2021

On Sunday, March 21, we are scheduled to have our annual Spring Concert/Service. This year’s theme is called, “The Will to Go On” or, in a word, endurance. One of the songs which the Children’s Choir will offer is called “Storm or Rain?” What a peculiar title. What’s this about? The song is based on […]

A Minister’s Message – A Learning Moment – March 2, 2021

çSome of you who attended our worship on February 21st saw the video that Nate put up for our story. In the video there was a short clip of Shirley Temple dressed as a southern belle dancing with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, an African American performer. The clip showed them dancing to a white audience. Such […]

A Minister’s Message – The Interdependent World – February 24, 2021

We live in volatile times. Never before in the geological history of this planet has CO2 in our atmosphere increased this rapidly. There have been times when the carbon released into the atmosphere was far greater than it is now, but it took millennia to get to that level. We are returning to an atmosphere […]

A Minister’s Message – Responsible Theology – February 16, 2021

When I was growing up in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Croton, NY, I spent many restless hours in our “Sunday School” as we called it back then. I can remember learning about bible stories, famous Unitarian Universalists, and the holidays of other world religions. I never really learned what it meant to be a […]

A Minister’s Message – Endurance of Place, Of People – February 9, 2021

I woke up to find the flakes falling again this morning, this time fresh snow upon layers already fallen. When it snowed here in November, my heart was too heavy to carry me outside. I remembered a childhood of snow in Pennsylvania, saw three winters in Boston with none, then I lived in Montreal for seven […]

A Minister’s Message – The Long Winter – February 2, 2021

This last snowstorm was frightening and beautiful. I loved watching the snow twirl and dance with the wind, leaving snowdrifts and a blanket over everything. But I was also wary of Nature’s might: I prayed for the creatures human and otherwise that were trying to shelter from the storm. I thought of all those good […]
