April’s Ministry Theme:  The Gifts of Interdependence

UU COMMUNITY WORSHIP 
March’s Ministry Theme: The Gifts of Interdependence
11 a.m. Sunday, April 21, 2024

Many spiritual traditions (including Universalism) assert that God is Love. Those same traditions also call humankind to love God with our whole being and our neighbor as ourselves. But if God is Love, what exactly does it mean to love Love? This thought-provoking topic was chosen by Tom Olshefski as part of the 2023 Fall Auction. Join us!

SUNDAY SECOND HOUR —
a time for connection and friendship!

Sundays from 12:30-1:30PM we provide supervised childcare for children 7th grade and younger. Most Sundays, weather permitting, care is offered on the playground. Light snacks, such as popcorn or rice cakes with optional peanut butter, are provided. Parents are invited to pick their children up from their religious education class and then sign them into care on the playground.

Sunday Second Hour allows our children the chance to spend time together socializing with free play. It offers parents the opportunity to meet and talk with others and attend church meetings knowing that their children are in good hands.

For more information, speak with Rev. Susan, Sabbatical Minister for Faith Development or Caroline Heins, RE Assistant.
