Inspiring Connection Through Preaching and Worship
Preaching is at the heart of my ministry, where I share messages that inspire reflection, connection, and action.
As the Contract Minister for the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Storrs (UUFS), I provide consistent, engaging sermons on the second Sunday of each month, offering spiritual nourishment and guidance rooted in Unitarian Universalist values and principles.
In addition to this ongoing role, I guest preach at other congregations in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, bringing fresh perspectives and messages tailored to each community's needs.
Whether at UUFS or as a guest preacher, my goal remains to empower individuals and communities to live according to their values, principles, purpose, and intentions.
Experience My Sermons
Preaching allows me to connect deeply with communities, sharing messages that inspire action, reflection, and hope. Whether you’re part of my home congregation or a guest audience, my sermons aim to illuminate the values of love, justice, and interdependence in ways that resonate personally and collectively.

Bloom Where You Are Planted
What does it mean for a person to be in bloom? To produce something of beauty – within and outside of ourselves?
If you focus on only the exterior of a person, to bloom could mean that they have a healthy, energetic, and attractive appearance. We can thank the Cambridge English dictionary for that definition.
Our world is a very visual one, so blooming can be MADE especially important to us, or we can be rebels and decide we're NOT concerned about what other human beings think of our appearance.
Infinite and Unchangeable Love - Why We Need Universalism Now
The Universalist faith – one side of the Unitarian-Universalist equation – holds a strong belief that a loving God would NOT elect only a portion of mankind to be saved, to enjoy salvation, and doom the rest to eternal punishment.
Since Hosea Ballou asserted that the law of heaven is love, it would have to be a love that surpasses all others to allow every member of humankind to receive salvation.
There are definitions for many different kinds of love - for this sermon, I'll stick with four (4) kinds.
Wholeness - Affirming It, Believing It, Confirming It
To be whole - for we perfectly imperfect human beings - means that we are living in such a way that we form a complete and harmonious being, a unified presence in our own lives.
By that definition, your work and personal life would be balanced. I'm not sure about you, but that sounds like a really tall order.
Let's look at another view - achieving wholeness means that you're rising above negativity. You can recognize it's there while refusing to give it dominion over your life.
