4th Annual National Day of Prayer

What
A community wide interfaith observance of the National Day of Prayer that will commemorate Yom Hashoa (Holocaust Memorial Day), while expounding on the fact that these kinds of atrocities can only occur when good people choose to not pay attention or get involved. The Troy Interfaith Group is promoting the idea that through learning about one another and communal prayer, we will all be interconnected enough to watch out for and respect each other. Our Interfaith service this year will include a variety of local musicians and will also include prayers and songs from the Hindu, Sikh, Christian and Jewish religions (others may be added as we finalize the program)

April Sermons

April 6 - What do you serve?

A colleague of mine made a bold assertion once, followed by a tough question. The assertion: We all serve one god or another - ambition, greed, fear perhaps. Having an official God can blind us form gods we really serve. The tough question of course, is what gods do we serve and can we cultivate other loyalties? Rev. Douglas Gallager

April 13 - The Question of Race

Senator Barack Obama recently gave an important speech on the issue of race. Here I will respond to that speech in light of the principles of our liberal religion. Rev. Harold W. Beu

April 20 - A Living Legacy

Too often we remember and appreciate people when it is too late, when they have left or passed away. I believe it is important to remember and appreciate each other while we are still alive - and to live each moment as a living legacy. Rev. Harold Beu

April 27 - How to Navigate Congregatioal Transition

Guest Speaker - Our Acting District Executive - Nancy Combs-Morgan
