Sermon by Rev. Samuel Schaal, Transition Minister: “To Preach the Truth: A Sermon About Sermons” - The capital secret of ministry, said Emerson, is to “convert life into truth.” The sermon, which is the center of our worship experience, proclaims the word - not one specific truth claim to define truth for all time, but of universal truths which are found in our own experience and in our wells of wisdom. How can the free pulpit and the free pew lead us to deeper truth?

Sermon by Rev. Samuel Schaal, Transition Minister: “Taking a Breath” - Too often we run around helter-skelter, trying to do too much at once, and we forget to allow breathing room in our lives. At the beginning of this Lenten season, we consider how our lives might breathe a bit better. And how, paradoxically, doing so gives us greater power.

Sermon by Rev. Samuel Schaal, Transition Minister: “Standing on the Side of Love” - On this Valentine’s Day, we speak of love. Love is more than a pleasant feeling. Love is a verb and an ethic, a way of being in the world. How might each of us be an expression of love? How might our congregation be an institution of living love?

Sermon by Rev. Samuel Schaal, Transition Minister: “Threshold” - For each of us, there sometimes comes a time when we stand on the cusp of a threshold experience where we either have to jump into the unknown or make a decision of great importance.
