"Learning About Our Present from Our Past"
Pastor Michele Townsend Grove
Online & In Person Service @ 10:00 AM

During this Sunday Service, we will explore the journey of Unitarianism as an independent movement. How is it that our polity (governance structure) is different than other Christian denominations like Lutherans? Catholics and Presbyterians? How does our independence serve us, and how do we elect and ordain our leaders? Don't worry - we will make this interesting because it relates to our everyday work as a congregation. And as an added bonus, we will celebrate the leadership and gifts of some of our program council and board leadership who are transitioning to new roles. We will also celebrate a youth who is bridging to adulthood. It promises to be a Sunday full of joy!
