“
Beyond the Water’s Edge
”
~ Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly Sunday Morning Worship
This Sunday we join the largest annual gathering of UUs in worship at this year's virtual GA.
"These are uncertain and volatile times. These are times that call on us to work towards our collective liberation while also tending to our spiritual needs and caring for others. How do we ready ourselves for what is being asked of us? How do we keep moving even when we don’t feel ready?"
The worship service will include a collection for the
Tomaquag Museum
, an indigenous museum featuring an extensive collection and archive of Southern New England tribal communities. Donate
HERE.
