 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 19th Service:  Our Zoom service will feature a video sermon by Rev. Meg Barnhouse on the importance of having balance in our lives. This goes along with our celebration of the 'balanced' day and night of the upcoming Autumn Equinox on September 22nd. Visit us via this link or the one on the uulala.org web page. If you are unable to attend, you may view the interactive service slides here. If you are on Facebook the service event is here. --- Last Sunday's service recap: In our September 12th Water Communion service several members and visitors shared stories of how water we collected was important in our lives. That water was then used by some to water plants at their homes or the flower bed at the church. ---  Thanks to member Kiera for taking care of Hurricane Ida evacuees at the Cajundome! --- Announcements:
