Sermon: "Atonement: Getting the Goat on Yom Kippur"
Next Wednesday is one of the holiest days in the Jewish Calendar, Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. Â It occurs ten days after Rosh Hoshana, the Jewish New Year. Â The Hebrew Bible has elaborate rituals for Yom Kippur which are supposed to atone for any wrongs which have been committed in the year just past. Â They involve the sacrifice of animals, including two goats. One of the goats is released into the wilderness. This animal is called the scapegoat.

Seeking Together: a Homily
Ingathering is when we come back together as a church from our expeditions to exotic places like Maine and Ohio and even Salem. Please remember to bring a small vessel of water with you to the service the morning of September 7. We will be having our traditional, annual Water Ceremony. Bring a water sample from someplace that was meaningful to you over the summer, and take a moment or two to tell us why this water is special to you.

Sermon: "Pleasure in the Flowers"
The Flower Communion honors the memory and spirit of Norbert Capek, founder of the Unitarian Church in Prague, which was then in Czechoslovakia. When the Nazis annexed the nation, they arrested Dr. Capek and deemed him, with his liberal religion, too ‘dangerous to live.’ He was murdered in the course of Nazi ‘medical experiments,’ making him the last martyr to die for Unitarian values. UU congregations in the US carry on the flower communion in tribute to him.
