01.05.25 Sermon - “Kindle the Spirit” - Rev. T.J. FitzGerald

Unitarian Universalist Sermons and Conversations from First Unitarian Church of Dallas

We gather for our annual Service of Renewal, in which we burn away and let go of that which no longer serves us and set intentions for the year to come. This sermon is part of our Kindle the Spirit series – A new year calls us to ignite our spiritual lives in impactful ways, bringing the rich history and core principles of our faith into our daily lives. We begin by burning away that which no longer serves us, then we find meaning and motivation in the symbolism of the chalice. Together we’ll ignite the light of truth, build a fire of commitment, and bask in the warmth of a community that fuels us to act with integrity as spiritual people. First Unitarian Church of Dallas is devoted to genuine inclusion, depth and joy, reason and spirit. We have been a voice of progressive religion in Dallas since 1899, working toward a more just and compassionate world in all of what we do. We hope that when you come here your life is made more whole through experiences of love and service, spiritual growth, and an open exploration of the divine.
