Making a Place for UU

Rev. Lia Davis

Join us on November 23rd at 10:30 am. Each moment offers a generous invitation to notice, to feel, to be truly awake, to create something new and unknown. And yet it is not so simple for most of us to say yes to these invitations. Rev. Lia will share a series of excerpts from her Morning Pages (free association) journal, exploring themes of mindfulness, embodied living, escaping ruts, and embracing the beauty and the mess that is a part of each of our lives.

We warmly invite you to join us in person, or if you prefer, you can also participate online. We look forward to seeing you there! 

Our service streams to Youtube and Zoom (meeting ID is 466-677-668 and the password is 454623).

Join us for coffee in the Community Room after the service.
