Sat, 9 January 2010 January 3, 2010 - Rev. Bruce T. Marshall turns to the question of hope. While hope is a central concept for all religious traditions, it doesn't look the same from one faith to the next. In this sermon, we consider how religious liberalism responds to the question, "What Brings Me Hope?".

Tue, 15 December 2009 Dec. 13, 2009 "When December rolls around, I find myself thinking about the Wright brothers. (Doesn't everybody?) Because it was on December 17, 1903, that they dragged an unlikely-looking contraption from Ohio to North Carolina and made the thing fly. Looking back from the perspective of over 100 years, it's clear that they should not have succeeded–but they did. It makes me wonder about other things that shouldn't work–but they do." This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church
in Camp Springs, Prince George's County, Maryland, where we come together in the spirit of mutual caring and
respect to celebrate life, offer service, and work for a better world. Room for different beliefs. Yours.

Tue, 17 November 2009 Nov. 15 - Maurice Sendak, the author of children's books, once observed, "There must be more to life than having everything." In that sense of something "more to life" is a yearning that can be expressed as having a ministry. In this service, Rev. Bruce offers some thoughts about the nature of ministry and how each of us might find the ministry that is ours. This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church

Tue, 17 November 2009 Nov. 8 - As part of the congregation's visioning process, we will be considering our name-Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church-and whether it ought to be changed. In this service Rev. Bruce Marshall offers some background on each element of this name. His intent is not to take a position but, rather, to offer perspective on issues involved in considering a name change. This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church

respect to celebrate life, offer service, and work for a better world. Room for different beliefs. Yours.

Mon, 16 November 2009 Nov. 1 - All religions address the question of trust. What do we rely upon to guide us through life's uncertainties? Is our trust centered in a holy book? The creeds of a specific tradition? A guru or a priesthood? Or...is there another way? In this sermon, Rev. Bruce tries to articulate a liberal religious response to the question of trust. This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church
in Camp Springs, Prince George's County, Maryland, where we come together in the spirit of mutual caring and
respect to celebrate life, offer service, and work for a better world. Room for different beliefs. Yours.

Mon, 16 November 2009  Oct. 25 - We often know little of our history. Knowing our history and how new beginnings happened in the past can be instructive to us as we consider our possibilities in the present. The guest minister, Rev. John Gaffney, is a retired Unitarian Universalist minister now living in Bowie, Maryland. He comes to us with a diverse background having started off in ministry as a priest in the Roman Catholic Church who found his home in the Unitarian Universalist Church. He has a website at: www.reverendjohngaffney.net This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church

Wed, 28 October 2009 Oct. 18 - A book Rev. Bruce found quite fascinating is entitled, "A History of the World in Six Glasses," by Tom Standage. The book's premise is that by looking at the development and meaning of six beverages, one can span the course of human civilization. He shares some of these insights, as well as add a seventh beverage that will be crucial in shaping the future. This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church

Wed, 28 October 2009 Oct. 4, 2009 All religions address the same questions. The answers vary, but the questions don't. In this sermon I would like to begin a series that I'll continue all year with one sermon a month. In this series, I'll state those basic questions and then offer the responses I find in our own liberal religious tradition. I hope this will be a way to clarify, affirm and celebrate the long and powerful religious tradition in which we participate as Unitarian Universalists. This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church
in Camp Springs, Prince George's County, Maryland, where we come together in the spirit of mutual caring and

Tue, 20 October 2009 Sept. 27, 2009 Sometimes it would be nice to start over: put things behind and get a fresh start. But is that possible, really? That's a theme of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, which begins at sundown today. In this sermon anticipating Yom Kippur, Rev. Bruce Marshall reflects on repentance, renewal, and what guidance this tradition offers during those times when we might yearn to put the past behind and start anew. This sermon was given at Davies Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church
in Camp Springs, Prince George's County, Maryland, where we come together in the spirit of mutual caring and
respect to celebrate life, offer service, and work for a better world. Room for different beliefs. Yours.
