The sermon emphasizes the importance of building deep, meaningful relationships (“inch wide, mile deep”) as the foundation for transformation and lasting social change. Drawing lessons from the civil rights movement and modern activism, it highlights how showing up with intention and commitment can create a powerful impact. Grounded in the transformative power of love, the message calls on the congregation to engage in relational work and community presence as expressions of their Unitarian Universalist values.
