“Suffering Into Dancing: A Meditation on Hope”
Rev. Tim Temerson
Angela Orebaugh and Tammy Wilt

March 31, 2024

As we mark the Christian holiday of Easter, today’s service will reflect on the meaning and power of hope. What does it mean to have hope and how can we cultivate hope in our own lives, in our congregation, and in the world. Today’s service includes beautiful music from the UUCville Choir and will be followed by an egg hunt and fun fair for all ages as well as a finger foods potluck in the Social Hall.LINK TO ZOOM SERVICE
