Service: Living with Ambiguity
Day and Time
Sunday Feb 27, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMDetails
Rev. Dr. Betty Stapleford with Ruth Ricards, Worship Host
In these recent days when we have once more been hit by a new COVID 19 variant and the usual defenses have proven to be less effective than we hoped, how can we cope? In some ways, we may even feel more stress and anxiety now than when the vaccines were first developed and administered. There is, of course, no panacea for this situation, but maybe there are some things we can to do to allay our worst fears. Join us this Sunday as we explore some possibilities through at UU lens.
