No, Thank You

Join us for this service via an on-line Zoom Meeting

Last week, we explored with Rev. Carin Bringelson why enthusiastic yeses are essential for our spiritual growth and development.  This week, focusing on some of the same pieces of wisdom and inspiration, we’ll explore why well thought-out and enthusiastic no’s are just as necessary.  The folx from Lake Country UU Church will be joining us for worship and coffee hour.
