Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Lafayette
April theme is God the Divine
Sunday Sermon: What if God was One of Us? read by Diane Kirksey.

HAPPENINGS
Moncus Park Earth Day Event
The Citizens’ Climate Lobby needs one or two volunteers for their Earth Day event at Moncus Park. Come find us at the Lafayette Farmer’s and Artisan’s Market, visit with your CCL and Sierra Club friends. Find out what we do.
It will be in tents!
Good Trouble March
Protestors will assemble at the corner of Jefferson and Lee, Saturday, April 19th (that’s soon!), to express their opinions about what’s going on in our government. You can come, too!
People met at our church Thursday to make signs for this event. Bring your own or pick out one of ours.
Report from ArtWalk
A lot of people stopped by our table at ArtWalk, so we’ll probably repeat this. Diane apparently knew about half the people who walked by that corner, and flagged them down to talk about the various programs she had flyers for, and to tell them about our congregation. The weather was perfect.
Festival International — April 23-27
This year’s Festival International de Louisiane will have something new — a booth about our UU congregation!
Please consider volunteering to staff the table. Contact Diane Kirksey to sign up! (Diane_kirksey1@yahoo.com).
Meditation — April 24th
MaryAnn Doyle invites you to join her in a series of meditation sessions beginning Thursday, April 24 at 3:30 PM.
If you’d like to attend, just show up. This is a very informal event.
Thanks for another “loaded” newsletter. So much going on with you UUers…this small package carries a powerful punch. 👏🏼❤️
