Past Worship Services

Our worship services are a time to gather in community, seek meaning, and celebrate the values that guide our Unitarian Universalist faith — Love, Justice, Interdependence, Equity, Pluralism, Generosity, and Transformation.

Here you’ll find past sermons from Rev. Dianne M. Daniels, our Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Norwich, who preaches on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. Every service offers music, reflection, and fellowship that nurture the spirit. Each message reflects on life’s big questions, explores timeless truths, and invites us into deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and the world.

Whether you’re revisiting a favorite service or exploring for the first time, may these words inspire, comfort, and challenge you on your journey. We welcome you to bring your questions, your hopes, and your whole self — because here, all are truly part of the circle of love.

“Live Out of Your Imagination, Not Your History”

Imagination has the power to reshape boundaries, ignite creativity, and help us dream beyond past limitations. Drawing on wisdom from Covey, Einstein, and lived experience, Rev. Dianne encourages us to live with possibility and boldness, guided by the Spirit of Love.

Hope is Power

Hope is more than a wish — it is a spiritual force that empowers imagination, honesty, and resilience. Rev. Dianne invites us to cultivate hope as a daily practice that strengthens commitment, fuels justice, and lights the path forward.
