Come join our Service this Sunday, May 15th, 11am by Zoom or N95/KN95masked/vaxxed in person. Your choice!
Do you have a “junk drawer” in your home–a drawer or two, a box stuck in a closet, full of the miscellaneous bits ‘n’ bobs that collect over time. And how about our “emotional baggage”? How many of us carry around at least a modicum of guilt or shame over things we’ve said or done in the past. How does holding on to all this stuff–the physical stuff and the interior stuff–affect our spiritual lives? Sunday’s presenter, Susan Westenbarger, definitely does not have all the answers, but wants to explore these questions in the context of Unitarian Universalism to help find a renewed sense of peace and balance. Please join us!
MASKS! NOTE: Our board is still requiring vaccination cards and kn95 or equivalent masks (NO FABRIC MASKS) of folks entering the building for Sunday services. We have many folks who truly appreciate us flipping the “usual narrative.” Usually Zoom is for those who are at risk where in-person places are not safe for them. At the fellowship, we’re doing Zoom for anyone who doesn’t want to wear a nk95 or n95 mask or get vaccinated, thus keeping the fellowship safe for the most vulnerable. We do, however, allow our presenters to unmask when speaking in the front of the fellowship. Some choose to stay masked.
