KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — The Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County welcomes back the Rev. Clovice Lewis to the UUCC and UUCLC pulpit on Sunday, Oct. 16, with a sermon entitled "Finding Joy."
This service will be presented over Zoom.
Gathering for service and music begin at 10:50 a.m., with the service starting at 11 a.m.
The Zoom meeting can be accessed here. The password is UUseesea.
The order of service is available here.
Lewis discusses how joy operates to support a life filled with happiness.
He writes, “The words peace and joy are often commingled. They both suffer from the burden of being thought of as unattainable over a long period. But the question is, why does that have to be true? We all understand, at least in an intuitive way, that inner peace is the road upon which joy takes joy rides. Find peace and you will find joy guaranteed, all the time.”
Lewis is a professional cellist and composer who composed his first symphony at the age of 17 and was a professor of computer music at UC Santa Barbara from 1978 to 1986.
He has also been a serial entrepreneur and software designer for the past 30 years.
In addition to music and technology, he has had a life-long passion for aviation and has been a private pilot since 1987.
Lewis received a Master of Divinity degree from the Starr King School for the Ministry in May 2021 and was ordained as a Unitarian Universalist minister in March.
His ministry work emphasizes breaking down racial, class, and ethnic barriers, and preaching the gospel of the madness of human self-extinction.
He is the author of “Yearning for Justice” and “Theological Sightlines” (collections of sermons about race, conscience, justice, theology, current events and human dignity), available on Amazon as Kindle, paperback, and hardback.
His one-act play, “On The Fence” is also available on Amazon as a Kindle only publication.

On Sunday, Oct. 9, they will welcome the Rev. Ben Meyers back to their pulpit with a message of vision and inspiration. His sermon is titled, “A Healing Time.”
He writes, “What if, as the great Spiritual traditions teach, opening ourselves to the vulnerability and pain of others really is a necessary step toward our own healing, health and wholeness? How is healing ‘an act of communion?”
After the service, as the congregation reunites and they explore what’s ahead for them as a religious community in Lake County, please join in a discussion on how to grow the church. Rev. Meyers will lead the discussion. Please bring your own bag lunch.
