4/5/2026 “Roll your own Stone” Rev Rachel Hollander
Rev Rachel believes the true message of Easter is not about a man, a couple thousand years ago, awakening and emerging from a cave. It is about us, each of us, awakening within our own personal caves. Moving whatever stone it is that is blocking us from the Light, from the Life we are here to live.
4/5/2026 13:00 Experiential Workshop Rev Rachel & Dr. Mark
Imagine you are in a cave. It’s dark, kind of cold. Although it might not be the most appealing place, for some reason, you are comfortable here. It is safe. And yet…. Gently, ask yourself this question: “What stone is blocking your way to the light?” Crystal Bowls Sound Healing by Dr Mark Sanders.

4/12/2026 Turnaround Sunday IN-PERSON ONLY SERVICE; NO ZOOM
Turn around Sunday is a relaxed service aimed to foster a sense of Beloved Community and connecting with others in a sacred circle. Instead of a sermon there will be a choice of interactive workshops to attend. Afterwards we will gather together to share our reflections on the experience.
Workshops will include UU Trivia, a Singalong, NY UU Justice legislative advocacy and more.
4/19/26 The Courage To Begin Kris Ferrero, Rockland Center for Spiritual Living
Every day offers a fresh beginning, yet many of us carry the past into the present. When we release old identities, expectations, and disappointments, we create space for something new to arise. Spiritual life is the practice of beginning again—again and again. Spring is the perfect time for this.
4/26/2026 Spanish Baroque Rev. Mark Cutolo
Immigrants are the lifeblood of New York City, the metro area, and this country. This sermon will look at one particular immigrant community in NYC, centered around its church, and how they've managed to cope with change.
