Scott writes: As we approach MLK Sunday 2025, the importance of our nation continuing to address centuries of racial injustice is more pressing than ever. In this time when so many Americans seem to want to pretend that “race” is no longer an issue that demands our moral attentions, we Unitarian Universalists must continue to speak up and act up on behalf of justice and equity for all. I will address these issues by way of my own complicated family history.

Tony's sermon will explore the question: What if the obstacle to the path you think you're on... turns out to be part of the path?
Tony Larsen was our minister here at Unitarian Church North for 4 years (2019-2023), having served before that at Olympia Brown UU in Racine for 40+ years. He was raised Catholic, and studied to be a Catholic priest for 10 years before being ordained to the Unitarian Universalist ministry. He received his B.A. in philosophy from Maryknoll College in 1971, his M.A. in theology from Maryknoll School of Theology in 1973, and his D.Min from Meadville/Lombard Theological School in 1975.

The meaning of worship is
to be shaped by
what is of worth.
We gather together in spiritual community because we need constant reminders of what matters most in life. In a world of heartbreak and dehumanization, our congregations and communities call us to our better selves. We learn to live with more wisdom, more connection, and more compassion.
Our Worship Services are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our programs for all ages inspire and awaken us to our capacities to make a difference in our own lives and in the world.
