Connections Potluck, Friday, March 7

For Newcomers and Newer Friends

Have you been attending Sunday Services or other church programs, and want to connect in a different way? Our Connections team wants to invite you to a Connections Potluck! No formal program, just conversation with others in our community, and an opportunity to ask questions and hear about upcoming ways to become more involved (including our upcoming Exploring UU and Deepening UU Series).

Let us know you are coming by either signing up or emailing Rev. Renee.

Sunday, February 16, 2023 “I” is for Inclusion, Integration and Invisible 

Our Soul Matters theme of the month is Inclusion. As we’ve been made painfully aware in the past weeks, DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) programs and practice are being dismantled in many spheres of life across our nation. In order to live into the value of inclusivity within Unitarian Universalism, we’ll discuss how we can assist those with invisible challenges (mental health / neurodivergence / less than obvious different abilities) and not only include but understand, support and integrate them into our church and our lives.   

9:15 AM: An In-Person, All-Ages Service

Led by DRE Colleen Thoele and Music Director Emily Hall.

10:00 AM: Children’s Religious Exploration

Religious exploration for our children and youth in classrooms.

11:00 AM: A Multi-Platform, Traditional Service (both in person and on Zoom)

Led by Elaine Bowen and Worship Associate Lori Mirkin-McGee, with Music Director Emily Hall.
