< To Upcoming Services Dec 10, 2023 Earth Centered Faith. It is a stark reminder that, with the comfort of air conditioning, artificial lighting, and the prevalence of computers and electronics, we have effectively isolated ourselves from the wonders of the natural world. In today's service, Sandy Johnson will tell her story of becoming a pagan and what that means to her. Cory Clark will talk about how nature frees her spirit and rejuvenates her from the stress and toil of everyday life. Coordinator: Alan Ayers #eBlast-12-06 OOS Sermon YouTube

< To Upcoming Services Watch the eBlast for the next scheduled Special Screening: Intersexion Tuesday night, March 25th, at the UUSE meeting house 7:00 PM Co-sponsored by UUSE’s Adult Religious Education and Social Justice/Anti-Oppression Committees. We’ve heard it said recently that there are only two genders. Indeed, the first question most new parents ask … “Is it a boy or a girl?” What if it’s neither? Fact: 1 in 2,000 babies is born with genitalia so ambiguous that the doctors cannot easily answer this question. In this groundbreaking documentary, intersex individuals reveal the secrets of their unconventional lives – and how they have navigated their way through this strictly male/female world, when they fit somewhere in between. #FebruaryNewsletter Tuesday night, March 25th, at the UUSE meeting house 7:00 PM Co-sponsored by UUSE’s Adult Religious Education and Social Justice/Anti-Oppression Committees.
