Sunday Morning Programs
Our Sunday morning programs alternate weekly between a guest speaker and one of our Community Days, which are designed to foster community engagement and social action. We’ll welcome a live audience in our auditorium, and also continue livestreaming our guest speakers to our YouTube channel. The Community Days will be in-person only.

Executive Director, American Humanist Association
“Humanists Move America: How and Why Humanists Are Heroes in the American Story”
Now more than ever, people need to feel like heroes in the American story. Fish Stark, Executive Director of the American Humanist Association, blends history, humor, and cognitive psychology in a look back at the legacy of American heroes. From John Dewey and Frederick Douglass to Jamie Raskin and Quinta Brunson, these people have changed our country for the better–fairer, more equal, more open, more innovative–not by mere coincidence but because of their humanist beliefs. Fish will offer a framework for helping humanists renew our sense of connection to national identity at a moment where our national leaders embrace anti-humanist principles, and tell the stories that welcome new people into the movement.
