Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Lafayette
Greetings fellow UUs and
supporters!
We are meeting IN PERSON
and on Zoom until further
notice.
Our theme for March is
Trust.
Trust is fundamental to a good
life. It is the key to faith, an
element of covenant, and the
basis of promise-making and
promise-keeping. It is to trust
others and to be trustworthy.
Trust is built on truth and
destroyed by lies. Trust
always involves risk since it
can be broken. Restoring trust
after a betrayal is especially
difficult and can impair the
willingness to trust.
Responding to betrayal can
involve healing and
forgiveness, but not forgetting.

Sunday, March 19th Service
This sermon is about getting
help when you need it.
Seeking and asking for help
requires trust. Addie Polk's
health declined after her
husband died, and she
neglected or was unable to
continue paying the mortgage
on her home. The mortgage
was foreclosed on. On the
day that sheriff's deputies
came to evict her, she shot
herself, but recovered. She
was placed in a nursing home
where she died the following
year. It is important that we,
as Unitarian Universalists
know how to look for the
warning signs of depression,
anxiety, substance abuse, or
compulsive behaviors in
ourselves and others. It is
also important that we know
when it is time to ask for help
when we need it. Rather than
giving up, there may be
solutions to our problems if
we are willing to look for them.
We need to learn to manage
worry in healthful ways and
remember that we are not
alone.
