10:30am Sunday Service | Conflict Without Contempt
During this sermon, we will explore some underlying conditioned messages about conflict as well as contemporary issues related to increased levels of contempt in public discourse.
Speaker: Kit Miller

9:15am Drop-in Discussion: "Oh, For Goodness Sake!"
Each Sunday in the Chalice Room (second floor).
Often said in frustration the phrase encapsulates the age-old problem of why humankind can't behave in an ethical manner. But we will examine why we UU's repeatedly violate our stated values and beliefs. For example, we claim love is the doctrine of this church, but is it? Bill Elwell presents.
