             Being and Belonging
              Speaker: Rev. Liz Webber
Unitarian Universalists believe
in the inherent worth and dignity
of each person.
And we often say we need not think alike to love alike. All are welcome.
How does this translate into our own belonging? And what are the implications for belonging given today’s rising authoritarianism?

Our Mission and Covenant        Pat
We are a church of reason and spirit,
that witnesses for progressive faith,
nurtures our community and transforms our world.
                                                           
Love is the spirit of this church, and service is its law.
This is our great covenant: to dwell together in peace,
to seek the truth in love, and to help one another.
