This Sunday's Service
July 12, 2026: The Possibility of America: 250 Years and Counting
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones
Today we reflect on the lead-up to the Declaration of Independence made by 13 separate colonies. Over 250 years as a republic, its people have continued to shape this country in response to the varied values and longings among us. Our past is complicated and our present is filled with pain, but the future remains open.
Rev. Dr. Roger Jones serves as a co-minister at the UU Society of Sacramento, where he began in 2008. A native of Franklin, he attended IU Bloomington, Meadville Lombard Theological School, and Pacific School of Religion. He served in Sunnyvale (CA), Minnesota and as a student minister in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He serves on the advisory group for the chaplaincy education program at UC Davis Med Center. He has served on boards of the UUA Pacific Central District, Pacific Western Region, the UU Ministers Association, and the YMCA.
