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.

Hope Grows in the Soil of Uncertainty

Incremental acts of courage, love, interdependence, generosity, and grace are the small drops that wear away stones, carve new landscapes into immovable mountains, and by torrents of popular will, cause sudden changes in the world.

The Power of Hope – Even in a Small Flame

We are called to nurture everyday kindness through small acts of compassion and generosity, which can provide essential support during difficult times. This Sunday, we will reflect on how these small gestures can illuminate our shared path, offering comfort and hope in a world that greatly needs these light-filled connections.
