July 20, 2025: Death, Loss, and Other Disappointments
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones
When we lose people through death, or experience decline or setbacks in our own lives, it’s hard. It sets us on a path with vulnerability and surprise emotions. And while it can feel so lonely to go through loss, it’s one of the most common human experiences. Today’s sermon draws from Five True Things by Buddhist writer and psychotherapist David Richo.
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones is a co-minister at the UU Society of Sacramento, where he began in 2008. A native of central Indiana, he attended Indiana University, Meadville Lombard Theological School, and Pacific School of Religion.
