Feb. 13 at 11am; Community Worship: Side with Love

We welcome to our worship the voices and music of UU ministers and leaders from around the nation, assembled by the Unitarian Universalist Association 30 Days of Love program. The sermon offered is titled “What If I Had Only 30 Days to Love?” Our service will include greetings from our Social Action Collection recipient PHAR (CVille’s Public Housing Association of Residents). And we invite everyone to a post-service “Drive-by” to bring Valentines which we will distribute to Afghan refugee families (and we will offer in return a little Valentine love gift in exchange!).
