Sermons for May

Please note that Rev. Ward is on sabbatical until June 30, but we have an impressive array of guest speakers in her absence.

Giving Life the Shape of Justice

Union Sunday at First Unitarian of Baltimore
Rev. Marta Valentin

May 6, 11:00 AM

Every year UUs from the region get together to celebrate the famous speech by Rev. William Ellery Channing at the ordination of Rev. Jared Sparks. The sermon, Unitarian Christianity defined our movement. On this day, Rev. Marta Valentin, the first Puerto Rican woman ordained to the UU ministry, will speak about creating sanctuary to welcome the stranger.

The church is located at 12 W. Franklin Street, on the corner of Charles and Franklin in Baltimore. There is free parking in the garage across the street.

When Grace Strikes

Minister: Rob Keithan

May 13

Theologian Paul Tillich wrote that Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and restlessness and leaves everything transformed. This sermon will reflect on what it means for grace to strike, and what we can do to be ready for it.

Honoring Sacrifice: Service Members and Their Families

Worship Committee

May 27

Memorial Day is a time to honor those who have died in service to our country. Often, however, the sacrifices of the service members' families are overlooked. Join us as we expand our service to acknowledge the everyday sacrifices made by spouses, siblings, parents, and children of the service members in our military and the losses these families work through as their loved ones serve.
