Join us for this service via an on-line Zoom Meeting. This will be a multiplatform service. We’ll have chairs set up in the parking lot for anyone who would like to attend in person (bundle up!), and we’ll be on Zoom for anyone who would like to attend virtually. What to Expect in Multiplatform Worship at JRUUC
We spent time remembering our ancestors in ritual last week. And as we remember, we might notice hard things in our histories, and that it might be necessary for us to acknowledge those things and learn to practice open-heartedness in our feelings for our ancestors. This morning, we’ll explore our relationship with our history.
It’s Youth Sunday! Rev. Karen will meet with our youth after the service.
