Beginning in Covenant

Have you ever heard it said that Unitarian Universalism isn't defined by a creed, but rather by a covenant... an agreement about how we will strive to be together, even while we differ theologically? Inspired by Yom Kippur in Jewish tradition, we'll explore what covenant is, and what it means to return to it again and again. Covenant is familiar to our young people, who will be creating covenants in their new classes during the second part of the worship service.

Please join us after service in the Parish House dining room for

coffee, tea, refreshments and fellowship.
