Book Club
Our June meeting is changed to Tuesday
June 28th
, at 7 pm in the Gallery.
Our book for June is
A Chosen Faith
by John Buehrens and Forrest Church, about our Unitarian Universalist church.
Unitarian Universalism offers an appealing alternative to religious denominations that stress theological creeds over individual conviction and belief.
This is a thought-provoking, entertaining book for searchers, newcomers and lifelong learners.
