“A Magical Mystery Tour”
The Rev. Suzelle Lynch and Kimberlee Tomczak Carlson, Intern Minister

Unitarian Universalists love figuring out life’s puzzles. But what if Mystery isn’t just something to figure out — but is also something to embrace with humility and awe… As a community of all ages in worship today, we take tour into the places where figuring it out meets wonderment.

Today we mark the first day of Hanukkah.
