Sermons

On this Mother’s Day, Pastor Joshua will take inspiration from mothers to talk about strength, positivity, and passion for life. If you have stories from mothers you know, he’d love to hear them.

Guest speaker Antoinette Hollamon (they/them/theirs) is a justice consultant, writer, and organizer living in Los Angeles. They speak publicly on social justice, racial equity, and literary activism, all rooted in their Unitarian Universalist faith. Antoinette is a Certified Spiritual Director and has been trained in Movement Chaplaincy work. They lead monthly gatherings, Care for Activists in Liberation Movements (CALM), to center the support needs of activists and front-line workers. They are currently on staff at the UU Women’s Federation and the UU Justice Ministry of California. They also serve as the Commissioned Lay Minister for the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles and a member of the Commission on Social Witness Committee at the UUA.

During Pastor Joshua’s candidating week, he explored the idea of Curating with Curiosity. Since this month’s Soul Matters theme is Awakening Curiosity, Pastor Joshua thought is a good time to revisit that sermon.
