A sermon is an oral presentation by a live speaker to a live congregation. It always involves a bit of interaction, even if it’s just eye contact and facial expressions. Reading the text of a sermon, then, is like reading the script of a play to yourself. The live, communal experience is gone.
Nevertheless, please enjoy reading these text versions of sermons and other presentations made at the UU Fellowship of Topeka during our worship services. You may find that there are additional notes and/or commentaries to the original text.

Ragtime is one of those purely American arts, and it’s so straightforwardly accessible that you don’t need to know anything about music to enjoy it. Rev. Lisa Schwartz is just be back from playing at the Scott Joplin Festival in Sedalia, Missouri, and she shares a little of that old raggedy music by Joplin, Morton, Adams, and others.
