Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Lafayette
Greetings fellow UUs and
supporters!
We are meeting IN PERSON
and on Zoom until further
notice.
Our theme for February is
Resilience.
Resilience is the ability to
recover from difficult
experiences and setbacks, to
adapt, move forward and
sometimes experience
growth. It is a necessary skill
for coping with life's obstacles
and one of the key ingredients
to success.

Sunday, February 26th
Service
Rev. Dr. Bill Sinkford's sermon
begins with the idea that
wetlands are resilient. They
can remove toxicity from the
environment. Toxicity in our
thinking that scarcity exists in
many aspects of our lives can
be eliminated by recognizing
the abundance that exists in
the natural world. He
discusses the idea of the 'zero
sum game' -- that one
person's gain means another
person's loss is something
that is deeply ingrained in our
society and causes great
suffering. We can aspire to be
'wetlands'.
