Service: Unitarian Universalism Calls Us to Action- Now
Day and Time
Sunday Mar 7, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMDetails
With Rev. Dr. Betty Stapleford and MaryBeth East, Worship Host.
Lots of us have heard our UUA President Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick - Gray say that this is no time for “a casual faith.” And many believe action is a part of that obligation. The only questions are what areas of concern we are drawn toward and what actions each of us finds most compelling and feasible. Come this Sunday with an open mind and heart to explore the possibilities for yourself.

Service: Ostara- The Spring Equinox
Day and Time
Sunday Mar 21, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AMDetails
The eight Sabbats of Earth Based Theology respect the cycles of the year on our earth. The Spring Equinox is the point of perfect balance on the journey through the Wheel of the Year. Night and day are of equal length and in perfect equilibrium - dark and light, masculine and feminine, inner and outer, in balance. The natural world is coming alive. We mark this time while thinking of our March theme of respect.
