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.

June 21, 2009 — Melanie Kitchner and Sylvia Tuscherer
Relationships with dads run the emotional gamut, and on Fathers Day several members of the Fellowship will share memories and stories about the men who parented them. As we move towards an appreciation of fathers who maybe didn’t know best as well as the guysfeatured in the card aisle, please join us to reflect on your own relationships. Fellowship members Melanie Kitchner and Sylvia Tuchscherer talk about their relationships with their fathers.
