March Services.

March 26th – Mark Bernstein   – Toward Unbecoming

The path of wakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not. Albert Schweitzer

The spiritual journey that we take as Unitarian Universalists can lead us to a better understanding of who we are. More importantly, it may help us to see with greater clarity who we are not. Let’s discuss. This service will be followed by a Bread and Soup Luncheon.

April Services

April 2 – Mike Skelly – Dorothea Dix’s Birthday – We celebrate Dorothea Dix birthday by learning about her living the first UU principle. We’ll visit her early life and how that led her into a dramatic life-long crusade to change education, prisons, mental health care, and nursing. Many of these improvements inspire us and benefit us even to this day.

April 9 – Cathy Vandegrift – Easter – A Classic Easter story with a twist to apply to your everyday life.

April 16 – John and Roger – Art Sunday – DDUUC Celebrates The Arts.  On Saturday April 15th from 7 – 9 PM DDUUC will host an evening of Original Spoken Word, Poetry, Story Telling and Song with an Open Mic to follow. Come hear original works by three featured artists and share a story, song, or poem at the Open Mic. There will be a Free Will Offering taken to benefit DDUUC. “Art Sunday” will be Sunday April 16th. All are welcome to participate in this service and share their creative artwork.
