UU Fellowship of Lafayette

Greetings fellow UUs and supporters!

We are meeting IN PERSON and on  Zoom until further notice.

Our theme for February is Power. 
In 1857, Frederick Douglass said, "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." Thus, a struggle will be required by each generation to renew, repair, and/or reclaim things like democracy, equality, liberty, freedom, and other rights that can be denied or undermined.Our tools of power include reason, non-violence, and courage to oppose hatred, violence, deceit, and more.

Sunday, February 20th Service:

Professor Rick Swanson of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette will be giving a presentation this Sunday titled 'Power and the Serenity Prayer' during the sermon portion of our service. It will no doubt be interesting and informative.
Please visit us either in person 1119 Johnston St., Bldg 12 or on Zoom.
We visit with coffee and snacks from 10:30-11 am. The service runs from 11 am until 12 noon. Service outline. Service Slides.
If you will be visiting us and are on Facebook, please mark yourself going in the event

After the service we will be driving to Opelousas for turkey legs and burgers (and hopefully vegetarian options) at the Acadiana Renaissance Fête [676 Jim Guillory Rd.]. One of our member's band -- Le Singe Perdu Singers -- is also performing in the afternoon. This is the last day of the festival which ends at 6 pm so don't miss it! It should be great fun! (There is no admission fee)

Last Sunday's service recap:
In this sermon titled 'Love is Like a Box of Chocolates', Rev. Sarah Schurr observes that there are different kinds of love. The ancient Greeks had different words for them such as eros, pragma, philia, storge, ludus, mania, agape, and philautia. Love can be full of surprises and can disappoint because not everyone has the same needs. Some want comfort and others want excitement. Sometimes we don't get what we want. While love involves some risk and can be messy, it can also bring you joy -- and that makes the pursuit of love worthwhile.
