  Words to live by:

  December 8: “We Are Lit from Within: The Power of Covenant”
  Two Services: 9:30 & 11:15 a.m.
  Worship Leader: Reverend Carolyn Patierno

  Unitarian Universalism is a covenantal faith, meaning our connection to each other and to the tradition we stand within reaches deep into our hearts and our heritage, too. How might we access that heritage in the congregational life we share and co-create?

We will explore taking this intention into 2020.
