 UU Fellowship of Lafayette
Greetings fellow UUs and supporters! We will be meeting ONLY on Zoom until further notice. Our theme for the month of September is REASON. From Touchstones Journal: [Unitarian Universalism has its foundations in Universalism's] 'three leading principles: "first, complete mental freedom in religion rather than boncdage to creeds or confession; second, the unrestricted use of reason in religion rather than reliance upon external authority of past tradition; third, generous tolerance of differing religious views and usages rather than insistence upon uniformity in doctrine, worship, or polity"..."The path to knowledge begins with our sense perception of the world. Based on this, we draw inferences and make deductions in order to expand our knowledge. By contrast, belief is based upon accepting something as true because we are told it is true by an authority."' Sunday, September 12th Service:  We will each share a brief story about water we have collected for our Water Communion service this Sunday. We may choose to then pour that water on our plants in gratitude for our blessings. Visit us on Zoom for this online service. If you are unable to attend you may view the interactive service slides here. --- Last Sunday's service recap: Our September 5th Rhyme and Reason sermon focused on the necessity for the use of both reason in our daily lives as well as the richness that poetry, music, spirituality, and other intangibles add to our lives. Read the sermon text here. --- Announcements:
