July 12, 2026: The Possibility of America: 250 Years and Counting
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones
Today we reflect on the lead-up to the Declaration of Independence made by 13 separate colonies. Over 250 years as a republic, its people have continued to shape this country in response to the varied values and longings among us. Our past is complicated and our present is filled with pain, but the future remains open.
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones serves as a co-minister at the UU Society of Sacramento, where he began in 2008. A native of Franklin, he attended IU Bloomington, Meadville Lombard Theological School, and Pacific School of Religion. He served in Sunnyvale (CA), Minnesota and as a student minister in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He serves on the advisory group for the chaplaincy education program at UC Davis Med Center. He has served on boards of the UUA Pacific Central District, Pacific Western Region, the UU Ministers Association, and the YMCA.

July 26, 2026: To Stand in Awe
Father Greg Boyle tells us, "Here is what we seek: a compassion that can stand in awe at what the poor have to carry rather than stand in judgement at how they carry it." People experiencing homelessness are some of the most vulnerable people in our society yet frequently are judged, blamed, and even attacked for things they have little to no control over. Today we will explore themes of judgement, fear, and even disgust and how we can turn those feelings into compassion.
