Worship Service

Human Nature

Sunday, February 5 - 10:30am

Rev. Diane Dowgiert

Unitarian Universalism holds an optimistic view of human nature, a rejection of the strict Calvinist doctrine of human depravity. We seek to affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person. How then do we account for human behaviors that are mean, hateful, or harmful?

Worship Associate: Bid Romans
Music: Donna DeHaan

Personality and Spirituality

Sunday, February 12 - 10:30am

Rev. Diane Dowgiert

What can your personality tell you about finding a fulfilling spiritual path? We'll look to the theories of Carl Jung and the Myers-Briggs personality profile for pointers on the journey.

Worship Associate: Terence Sheridan
Music: Desert Chorale
