What makes Unitarian Universalism similar to and different from other religious traditions?
Reverend Dr. Elizabeth Stevens, Lead Minister, and Reverend Carrie McEvoy, Assistant Minister.
We try to make things as clear and easy as possible for visitors to get involved in our congregation.
Join Us at 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. This Sunday In Person (Or Online)
Sunday, October 11th, at 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m., “Meaningful Conversations with People who Care” with Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Stevens, Lead Minister
The American culture of rugged individualism is crumbling under the pressures of modern day life. By contrast, there’s an alternate strategy that involves practicing vulnerability and interdependence. In these challenging times, how do we nurture resilient spirits and create resilient communities?
The 11:15 a.m. service will be streamed on YouTube as well as being offered in person. To watch the service on YouTube, live or later, visit here.
(This page will be updated by October 15th for the following Sunday’s service.)
