Sundays in September
Spirituality and Social Justice
12 noon

Please join us on Sundays at 12 noon as we invite people from a rich 
variety of religious/spiritual/philosophical perspectives and traditions to 
share their core beliefs, values, and faith journeys with us.  Our 
Unitarian-Universalist Sunday services are informal, participatory, and 
nonjudgmental.  Persons from all faith backgrounds are welcome, and you are 
warmly invited to enjoy refreshments and informal conversation following 
the service.
As UUs we strive to put into daily practice our vision for a better world 
as we affirm the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
