Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Lafayette
April theme is God the Divine
Sunday Sermon: “For the Earth Forever Turning,” by Rev. Tim Kutzmark, UU Church of Fresno.

HAPPENINGS
Hands Off Rally
There was a great turnout for the Hands Off Rally sponsored by Indivisible and UUFoL. Diane Kirksey was the main speaker and kept things lively all through the event. She invited people to wind up the rally at our church, and about 30 people showed up and expressed their hopes and fears about our current situation and talked about what we can all do to make things better.
Potluck this Sunday
The food is always tasty, and the people are interesting. Please join us after service this Sunday. Bring a dish if you can, but all are welcome regardless.
Love the Boot Week — April 5-13
