Order of Service 8.31.25 10am

SUNDAY SERVICE 

Onsite & Online ~  10 am 

Ayanna Gaines

Some time back, Ayanna Gaines presented a service that centered on the concept of the soul: what it is and what do Unitarian Universalists believe about the soul. Now, Ayanna is revisiting the concept of the soul, this time from a popular culture perspective: why do we call Stevie Wonder’s songs “soul music,” or fried chicken “soul food”? How does this connect to the soul in our hearts?
