January 29, 2012	Diamonds and Rust	Rev Dave Farrington Theodore Parker's famous sermon on The Permanent and Transient in Christianity set forth his beliefs that biblical scriptures failed to tell the truth about the Divine. Today we will explore Joan Baez's song, Diamonds and Rust, as a secular equivalent, exploring what part of the human experience has permanence and which is transient.
February 5, 2012	Topic to be Announced	Speaker/Lay Leader: Tara Boroson Please plan on attending the Annual Congregational Meeting immediately following the service at 11:45.
February 12, 2012	The Stockdale Paradox	Speaker: Rev. Kent Matthies Unitarian Universalists throughout Pennsylvania are working for justice in the following areas: economic, immigration, environment, and gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual. In some of these areas the facts on the ground can be quite daunting. Will we ever really make a difference? Come hear how a true war hero, Jim Stockdale’s experience and philosophy can help us have faith that we will prevail, while dealing with the stone cold facts. Rev Matthies is Minister of the Unitarian Society of Germantown in Philadelphia and President of the UU Pennsylvania Legislative Advocacy Network.
February 19, 2012	Separating the Wheat from the Chaff	Rev Dave Farrington As the political season heats up we are once again seeing our would be leaders appealing to family, and ultimately, biblical values. This sermon probes what these messages are meant to convey and how we as Unitarian Universalists might regard them and the Bible in general. 3rd Sunday potluck will follow the service.
February 26, 2012	Dwelling in the Presence of the Sacred	Rev Dave Farrington Many of us were raised in traditional religions and struggled to incorporate unto ourselves what was often unbelievable. The religious gods failed many of us and later the secular ones as well. So as adults without gods or God many of us struggle to dwell in the presence of the sacred. This sermon invites you to explore your religious journey through this lens.
