This Sunday’s service will be led by Reeb member Michael Nunley. His reflection considers whether human evolution could have made it more likely for people to engage in violence and whether the centrality of love in Unitarian-Universalism might offer a potent instrument for changing our violent culture.
Worship Associate: Marti Everett, Music: Candy Douglas
