ONE SERVICE ONLY AT 10:15 A.M.
"On the Burning of Heretics," an English law from 1401, made it illegal to hold Unitarian views or worship. 600+ years later, join us for worship as we discuss the heresies and truths--both in our personal lives and in our broader faith.
The UU Heartland String Band and Kim Carballo will share music during the service.

If you have not yet made your solar panel donation payment, please send checks (memo line: solar panel) or pay online by July 31. We will receive $42,698 of the $43,690 total needed! For details, click here.
