Dream Big, Dream Loud!

Sunday morning at 10am

with Sam Dickerson & Rev. Nica Eaton

Dreaming of all we can be and do gives us hope for a brighter future. Our children and youth dream without limits all the time. They are unstoppable! Let’s dream together while also taking time to lift up our families and give gratitude for our Wisdom Exploration volunteers. We will be dedicating young children and celebrating a senior as he bridges.

This Day in Unitarian Universalist History…

On May 28, 1896, the Young People’s Religious Union, a predecessor of the Liberal Religious Youth (Unitarian Universalist) along with the Young People’s Christian Union (Universalist), was organized at Second Church (Unitarian) in Boston. The meeting was held during Anniversary Week, known as May Meetings. Its stated purposes were: “(a) to foster the religious life; (b) to bring the young into closer relations with one another, and (c) to spread rational views of religion, and to put into practice such principles of life and duty as tend to uplift mankind. The cardinal principles of the Union are truth, worship, and service.” ~ This Day in Unitarian Universalist History
