Lydia Nelson leads us this Sunday as we get the opportunity to listen as UUFF’s amazing, diverse kids and youth share what they are passionate about, their interests, and what makes them tick.

December 6 – “Chalice Stories – Our Principles in Light”
Led by Rev. Jim Parrish. Unitarian Universalism adopted the symbol of the lighted chalice back in WWII, as a sign of freedom. We’ll recount the story, as well as others that help us reflect deeply on our Principles. Our UU Principles are our values – ideals that bring us together no matter what source(s) we come from. These Principles are not written in stone; they are part of our Covenant to be negotiated and updated as needed. Join us as we share stories and music in reflection of our UU values and meaning.

November 29 – “Growing Closer During Social Distance”
With special guest, Ginger Doss. 2020 has been a year unlike any other. But within its challenges are great teachings and opportunities. Even though we have had to social distance and isolate ourselves, we can still find comfort and strength through our connections. Nurturing our compassion for one another through mindful practice can build unseen bridges that span across any distance and can nourish us in a time when we might otherwise feel so alone. 2020 is a journey we have taken together, and we can heal together as well, no matter how far apart we are.
