UU Fellowship of Lafayette

Greetings fellow UUs and supporters!

We will be meeting ONLY on Zoom until further notice.

Our theme for October will feature services focused on reverence -- deep respect for someone or something.

Sunday, October 10th Service:

This Zoom service's video sermon was originally given by Rev. Colleen Squires of All Souls Community Church of West Michigan. She defines 'church' as a place where we can become better people and build a better world together. We are in the business of transforming lives. But some people want to be part of either the church of Sunday morning worship and others may want to be a part of transformational community where people grow together and help each other to find meaning.

Visit us this coming Sunday at 10:30 am for fellowship or 11 am for the service via the Zoom link here or at uulala.org. If you are unable to attend, then you may view the interactive service slides here or the sermon video.
If you are on Facebook the service event is here.

Last Sunday's service recap:
This Zoom service's sermon was originally given by Rev. Dr. Jan Carlsson-Bull where she speaks on Albert Schweitzer's 'reverence for life' philosophy that regarded all life as sacred and focused on everyday gratitude and respect for nature. What Unitarian Universalists believe is also studied as we have a history of avoiding creeds and dogmas. View the service slides or the sermon text or video.
