At our service on April 18th, we heard Paula Cole Jones, one of the authors of the proposed Eighth UU Principle, speak about the history of the project, the need for Unitarian Universalism to specifically address racism and other oppressions, and the process by which the Unitarian Universalist Association can adopt a new principle.

Join us on Zoom for an online version of our traditional UU Christmas Eve service, with stillness, readings, candles and carols. There is no recording for this service.
