A Minister’s Message – Changes for the Sanctuary? – October 3, 2023

Dear Members and Friends, On Sunday, did you notice the four rectangles attached just below the speakers in the sanctuary? They mark where the monitors/screens are planned to be installed. Rob Laug and his Tech Team have done a remarkable job with updating the recording, audio and video technology in the congregation. Now comes the […]

A Minister’s Message – Shana Tovah: May You Have a Good and Sweet Year – September 20, 2023

Dear Members and Friends, This is a year of transition and change for you. I have no doubt your faith community will experience continued growth and healing. I’m here to accompany you during the good times and the challenging times. This past weekend, Nate Pawelek shared his resignation with me. He shared the news with […]

A Minister’s Message – How Do We Want to Be Together? – September 15, 2023

Dear Members and Friends, Rosh Hashanah begins this evening. As the Jewish New Year, it launches the Jewish High Holy Days that culminate with Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement. These ten days are a time for the Jewish faithful to practice teshuva, or turning toward wholeness by acknowledging where one has […]

A Minister’s Message – Small Group Gatherings in the Minister’s Office – September 12, 2023

If you missed the service and would like to watch/hear the sermon, please click HERE. Or, you can find more sermons on our website, .uuwestport.org, under the “SERMONS & POETRY” tab. As your transitional minister, […]

A Minister’s Message – Transition into a New Year Together – September 5, 2023

Dear Members and Friends of UU Westport, We enter a season of transitions: getting back to school, re-creating routines, and, here at UU Westport, launching a new worship year. As many go back to school, it’s also a great time to go back to church—to gather again with your congregation. “Transition” refers to the process […]

A Minister’s Message – A Final Message – June 6, 2023

This will be my final message to you as your Senior Minister. Let me begin by saying what an honor it has been to have served you these past eight years. When I was called by you to be your Senior Minister, I told you that I would serve no more than ten years. Many […]

A Minister’s Message – This Sunday, and our Circle of Life – May 10, 2023

This coming Sunday May 14th will be a beautiful and full worship service. It is Mother’s Day, of course, which is cause for celebration. Mother’s Day was founded by a Unitarian Julia Ward Howe in commemoration of peace. Despite years of effort to create a national “Peace Day” in May, it would take Woodrow Wilson […]

A Minister’s Message – Between What We Know and What We Might Become – April 26, 2023

With spring blooming around us I find my mind wandering as if the re-emergence of life was somehow disrupting the cold march of days our struggles remind us of. Spring is, in one sense, a disruption. And in another sense it’s not so much a disruption as it is a reminder to pay attention to […]

A Minister’s Message – After the Resurrection – April 12, 2023

In the story of Jesus’ resurrection, Jesus is said to have returned in body and made himself known to Mary Magdalene and the disciples. They were, of course, astonished that he had returned at all since the men were sure his death on the cross was the end of the road. So skeptical were they […]

A Minister’s Message – Change Together – April 4, 2023

Joseph Campbell once wrote: “We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” I realize that my announcement that I am leaving my ministry with you comes as a shock. Many of you had told me that you expected me to […]
