Rev. Jamie Hinson-Rieger
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”
– Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus

At a time when our Indigenous neighbors are observing the National Day of Mourning, let’s take a critical look at this new language of “Heritage Americans” and what it portends for our collective future.
A technical problem prevented the video recording of the Sunday service, and Rev. Jamie Hinson-Rieger graciously agreed to re-present the sermon on Thursday, December 4, 2025, in the Sanctuary. A recording of this re-presentation is available at the link below.
