Sunday, February 14 (10:30 AM) Rev. Claudia Elferdink, "God / Not God"

Our Universalist forebears said, “God is love.” In this post-modern era, how might we see God? Or not? With so many views of God, is there a God we need? Or a God that needs us? If we opt to be atheists, what do we believe? I’ll also respond to two queries from Question Box Sunday, “How does ‘god’ fit into Unitarian Universalism?” And, “If people say you don’t have to believe in God to be Unitarian, why would you come to church at all?” It will be a lively morning! Join us for a unique take on love and God, or not God, on Valentine's Day.

 
Music: Jill Walthall

Religious Education classes are available for Pre-K through 9th Grades. Childcare is available for young children.

"Cakes for the Queen of Heaven" starting February 28

“Cakes for the Queen of Heaven” is an updated version of a favorite adult curriculum that explores feminist "theaology" (from the Greek meaning the study of a female Goddess). The focus is the Ancient Middle East, an exploration of the meaning of the new discoveries by archeologists, anthropologists, and historians concerning the other half of the human story - the female. See or email Judy Bruce-Mangle to sign up for the five session course: Sundays from 1-3PM; Feb 28, March 7, 14, 21, and 28.
