VOICES CAFE GOES DEEPER THAN THE SKIN
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20 at 7:30
In the sanctuary and live streamed
|
|
|
|
“The musical presentation ‘Deeper Than The Skin’ was truly inspiring!!! Your words and music were heartfelt and straight from the soul. The way you reached out to us not only gave us enormous hope that the world can change, but also challenged each of us to do our part to make that change happen. I think many of us felt that your music and storytelling is a ministry that’s making the world a better place, in a moving and beautiful way.” – Randy Freed, Bull Run Unitarian Universalist Church, Manassas, VA

BRING A FRIEND/BE A FRIEND NEXT SUNDAY FEB 27 10 AM |
|
This Sunday pick up a couple of brochures to share with your friends so they have some context for your invitation. The ask is simple: "come spend an hour with us and find out what it means to live out our UU values, in community."
The service will showcase our Unitarian Universalist faith for us - old and new - and how we "do it" so wonderfully here at UU Westport.
Please bring a neighbor, friend, acquaintance. We live in tough times and a spiritual home like TUCW can help us live out our values with joy, compassion and love, and build a community that provides strength, support and service.
