 Greetings fellow UUs and supporters! We are meeting IN PERSON and on Zoom until further notice. Our theme for April is Theological Reflection. Theological reflection is an essential process to identify first principles, clarify values, take seriously that which we do not believe, explore those ideas that make us uncomfortable and/or challenge us, and ensure that our beliefs are life enhancing. As Rilke said, sometimes it is necessary to live the questions in order to experience the answer on some distant day. Theological reflection is a life-long endeavor.--- Sunday, April 17th Service:  This Sunday's sermon is a text by Rev. Stephen Cook read by Chris Menard. While as UUs, we may not take the resurrection of Jesus literally, Jesus is regarded as one of the great teachers and prophets of humankind whose ministry changed the world. He lived as a witness to a God of love that included not just men, but women and children, non-Jews, tax collectors, sinners and prostitutes, desperately poor, the physically deformed and the mentally ill. This spirit of love survives and is perpetually renewed during the Easter celebration. There are also times in our lives when we are 'born again' when overcoming obstacles that held us back and now we are experiencing a new and more fulfilling life. Happy Easter, everyone! Please visit us either in person at 1119 Johnston St. or on Zoom [tinyurl.com/zoomuulala or via the link at uulala.org]. We visit with coffee and snacks from 10:30-11 am. The service runs from 11 am until 12 noon. After the service we pick a restaurant for lunch and fellowship. Everyone is invited.
