DALLAS UNITARIAN WEEKLY  |  April 15, 2016

Daniel's video message this week looks ahead to Sunday's worship exploring Passover.
THIS SUNDAY @ FIRST UNITARIAN
Join us at 10:00 or 11:30am when Rev. Daniel Kanter's sermon, "In the Fire, In the Clouds," will look at what Passover has to tell us about who we are as people of faith. The Sanctuary Choir will be in the loft, singing spirituals.

At our Inquirers Series (11:30am, Church Parlor), learn about Community Service and Social Action at First Church. The Child Dedication Class will be at 1pm (Room 301); join us if you'd like to dedicate a child on Mothers' Day. All are welcome at Interweave's (LGBTQ) family-friendly lunch at 1pm, at Mod Market (7949 Walnut Hill Lane).

The Young Adults Pints & Ponderings Lawn Party kicks off at 5pm, in the Central Courtyard. BYO wine or beer; for 20s and 30s. Contact youngadults@dallasuu.org.
