The message was delivered on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. Description: A village builds a bell to call out harm — and rings it well. But when a child asks, "After the bell rings, what happens next?" the elders have no answer. What does it mean to hold someone accountable and still believe they can change? What happens when the mark on the door never comes down — not because the person didn't change, but because no one ever built a path back? In a cultural moment when more voices than ever can finally name injustice, we're still missing something essential: a shared practice for what comes after. Accountability without restoration isn't transformation. It's despair.

Baptism Sunday - Dan Walter, Senior Minister

What does it mean to center the life of the church around the table—and why has the Eucharist so often been pushed to the margins? In this episode, Loren Richmond Jr. talks with Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons about cultivating a Eucharistic movement in the modern church. Drawing from theology, liturgical practice, and pastoral experience, Longbons invites leaders to reconsider how worship has shifted toward production and consumption—and what is lost when the table is no longer central. The conversation explores how the Eucharist forms identity over time, not just as a ritual but as a way of life. Rather than seeing communion as an add-on or symbolic moment, they discuss how it can become the organizing center of worship, shaping how communities understand grace, presence, and participation. They also reflect on how modern church models often prioritize content over formation, why repetition and liturgy still matter, and what it might look like to reorient church life around shared practices that cultivate deeper community and spiritual depth. Together they explore: Why the Eucharist has been marginalized in modern worship The difference between consumer-driven worship and Eucharistic formation How the table shapes identity, community, and mission The formative power of liturgy and repetition What it looks like to re-center worship around communion Practical ways church leaders can begin cultivating a Eucharistic culture   Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons is the Senior Minister of Peachtree Christian Church, where he seeks to share the heart of Christ in the heart of the city. A pastor-theologian and gifted communicator, he brings together thoughtful biblical interpretation, pastoral warmth, and a passion for connecting faith with contemporary life. Jarrod is deeply committed to discipleship, worship, and cultivating a church that serves both its members and the wider community. His ministry is shaped by a love for teaching, the arts, and the formation of leaders for the Church. He and his family consider it a joy to walk alongside the people of Peachtree in God's ongoing work of renewal and hope. Outside of ministry, he enjoys Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Golf, and Fly Fishing.    Mentioned Resources:

Igniting the Fire of Commitment Sunday, March 1, 10:50 am, 2026 There is so much in the human heart that is both tender and fragile and ferociously enduring. Fire can be like that quality of what can live in the human heart. How do we know enough about these pieces of ourselves—the ones that matter—to nurture them, protect them, and build a world that does the same? Let's talk about what it takes to do so as we kick off our Annual Giving drive for this next church year. Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Rev. Laura Shennum, Minister of Congregational Life; Mark Caswell, Ministerial Intern; Carl Cade, Trustee; Reiko Oda Lane, organist; UUSF Choir led by Mark Sumner; Wm. García Ganz, pianist Shulee Ong; Eric Shackelford; Eli Boshears, Camera Operators; Desired Effect, Sound; Jonathan Silk, OOS; Kelvin Jones, Jose Matias Pineda, and Dairina Maradiaga, Sextons; Athena Papadakos, Flowers; Linda Messner, Head Usher

The Excellence of a Horse: A Lunar New Year Celebration Sunday, February 22, 2026 As we welcome the Year of the Horse, we celebrate an animal that has long represented “excellence” in Chinese folklore and around the world—admired for speed, agility, or endurance. In this new year of intentions and resolutions, we might also ask ourselves, what makes a human excellent? Is it our abilities, our accomplishments—or is it the quality of our character? Across cultures, from Chinese to Greek philosophy, thinkers have returned to the same conviction: What makes up human excellence is the inner strength of our values. Join Rev. Seanan Fong, UUSF Affiliated Community Minister and founder of the San Francisco Contemplarium, in this season of new beginnings as we set our intentions for the kind of people we aspire to be.

The Case for Hope Sunday, February 15, 2026 Creeping cynicism, or what Forrest Church used to call "Sophisticated Resignation." These are some of the dangers to a soul of our time (maybe all times). Let's unpack what the seeds of these "soul sicknesses" are and how to inoculate ourselves. The case for hope! Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister; Mark Caswell, Ministerial Intern; Gregory Stevens, Worship Associate; Carmen Barsody, Worship Associate; Carl Cade, Trustee; UUSF Handbell Choir led by Reiko Oda Lane, organist; UUSF Choir, led by Mark Sumner, Director; Wm.

John's monologue this time is about the competition groups for the FIFA world cup having a ceremony that involved bestowing a brand-new Peace Prize to Donald Trump. Then, he welcomes back Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis who is the Senior Minister for Public Theology and Transformation at Middle Church in New York City's East Village. She is a womanist whose preaching, teaching, speaking, writing, and activism are aimed at racial equality, gun control, economic justice, and equal rights for all sexual orientations and genders. And then, TV's Frank Conniff jokes with John and listeners about the latest news and Trump's twisted trickery.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
