10:30am Sunday Service |   Complicating and Celebrating Diversity
Flower Communion is an annual tradition of many Unitarian Universalist congregations that is a visible celebration of the diversity in our midst and the gifts we all bring to this beloved community. Celebrating diversity often comes from a privileged place, often not centering the voices of those most marginalized. Let's both complicate and celebrate this beautiful annual observance. Please bring a flower or two for our shared vase and important ritual.
Speaker: Rev. Lane Campbell

9:15am Drop-in Discussion | Regime Change War
The Trump administration is waging economic war against Venezuela and Iran and is threatening a military attack. Is there any justification for this? How likely is armed conflict?
Phil Ebersole will lead a discussion.
