   (Sermon only) ”Reading Sign” Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley September 27, 2026

   Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley September 27, 2026Reading SignRev. Marcus LiefertTrackers learn to "read sign"—a bent blade of grass, a snapped twig—a script of the movement of creatures written on the world. An honest search for salvation asks us to pay the same kind of careful attention. How do we attune well enough to the soul's subtle signals to be aware of our own capacity for harm before it's already a trail?

   (Sermon only) ”Crouching at the Door” Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley September 20, 2026

   Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley September 20, 2026Crouching at the DoorRev. Marcus LiefertAs we honor the Jewish High Holy Day of Yom Kippur, we begin a new worship series using The Hunt as a metaphor for the religious question of soteriology—the search for salvation. When the Hebrew Bible first introduces the questions of harm and repair, it suggests sin is a predator crouching at the door, desiring you. What if naming our own capacity for evil isn't the opposite of salvation, but instead where an honest search for it begins?

As we remember our individual and collective moments of joy and sadness, the kindness of strangers sometimes plays a bigger role than we expect. How can we small acts of kindness and tiny moments of grace help us break open our hearts to love?
