Worship Service

Endings and Beginnings: Mid-Week Alternative Worship

Wednesday, May 22, 7:00 p.m.

Rev. Diane Dowgiert, Kathleen Hogue, Mary Wiese, Brian Moon

The poet T.S. Eliot noted the end is where we start from. This is the season of graduations, the ending of one phase of life and the beginning of another. We'll mark the endings and new beginnings in our own lives.

Warriors in Training

Sunday, May 26

Rev. Diane Dowgiert

True warriors are those who have attained self-mastery. Warriors train their minds and emotions as well as their bodies. What if we re all spiritual warriors in training? What would that look like? How would we do it? What resources does Unitarian Universalism have to offer warriors in training?

Worship Associate: Bid Romans
