To Make Whole, Sound, and Well
Reverend Scott McNeill
The root word of healing comes from Old English, meaning "to make whole, sound, and well" - which also describes our purpose as a religious community. Join us as we share stories and visions of how Unitarian Universalism can make us, individually and collectively, whole, sound, and well.

Storytelling & Spirit Play Basket Making
5:30-7:30pm
. Pizza, Cookies, stories with Rev. Scott McNeill and DRE Adrienne Summerlot. Spirit Play Basket making with Rev. Emily Manvel Leite. Childcare available
Coffee Hour options for children
Coffee hour is a valuable time for adults to connect with one another. Children crave that opportunity as well. Here are a few ways to help kids build connections.
- Bring your coffee outside and chat with others while you watch your kids play on the playground.
- Bring them to the indoor play table in Fellowship Hall and help them introduce themselves to other kids at the table. This is a good opportunity for kids to start to explore their independence while still being in close proximity to parents. Perhaps you might even rediscover your own long-lost love of Legos!
- Bring them to Room 108 to play with friends and our childcare staff. Please note: Childcare does not go outside during coffee hour.
