June 11 – “Shared Ministry”

by

This Sunday’s service will be the second-to-last one led by Rev. Dr. Stevie Gaines in their role as UUFF Minister. In their two messages this month, they’ll speak on topics that they deem very important for us. This Sunday, they’ll lead us in considering the idea of shared ministry. We’ll explore the feedback process that Unitarian Universalists typically think of as shared ministry, as well as a team approach to our work. The service will be informative, encouraging, challenging, and uplifting! We invite you to attend!

Rev. Stevie’s last Sunday in the Minister role will be on June 25th, the Sunday of NWA Pride weekend, when they’ll speak about “Pride and Possibility,” exploring the power and potential of Pride for all of us.

April 9 – “What’s in Your Egg?”

by

Many people celebrate Easter by dressing up, hunting eggs, eating candy, spending time with family, and remembering Jesus. Unitarian Universalists have various and often conflicting thoughts about Jesus. What can we all learn from the story of the resurrection of Jesus, even if we don’t accept it as historical fact? In this service, Rev. Steven helps us think about how Easter can empower us to live more fully in alignment with our principles.
