Guest preacher Rev. Ethan Loewi, with Carole Katz, Jean Merkl, Lynn Bratley, Chuck Dickinson, Charlyn Bethell and Guy Urban.
The history of American religion has been shaped by a series of “Great Awakenings”: periods of intense religious upheaval, when people are moved in great numbers to increased devotion, energy, and passion for their faith. What could a new great awakening look like today, and how could Unitarian Universalists be part of it? We are so blessed to welcome Rev. Ethan to our church this Sunday!
Rev. Ethan works for the Unitarian Universalist Association as a member of the Communications team and a writer for the magazine UU World. He has also worked as a parish minister and hospital chaplain.
Reading: from the Book of Romans Chapter 13, verses 11-12, NIV:
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
