Blessed are the Peacemakers

Revs. Tim Temerson & Jason Woodson

Unitarian Universalism affirms peace and peacemaking as core religious values and practices. Today’s service will explore Unitarian Universalism’s commitment to peace and what it means for a congregation to be a peacemaker. The service will be followed by the rededication of our peace pole and the installation of the “Help Each Other” outdoor signs
