Notices

	Connections: How Small Things Affect People (May 4) The Senior Youth Group will conduct this service which will also include a Bridging Ceremony for the graduating seniors, Kelsea Whittemore and Phil Dumka. The Senior Youth Group leads.
	Good Grief (May 11) We are bombarded with timelines, stages, good intentions and asked to "hurry up and grieve" when we suffer a loss. Understanding that grieving is healthy, transformative, and works differently for each of us can absolve us from our impulse to thwart this human need. Ministerial Intern CJ McGregor leads.

The heart of Unitarian Universalism is love, service and community.

to wisdom, understanding, and spiritual growth.

The people of our congregation come from a variety of religious backgrounds, are of all ages, live in several communities, and have many interests. We share in a love of music, an appreciation of humor, and a desire to preserve our diversity by respecting each other's beliefs.
