11:00 a.m. – Service: Roots and Wings, led by Stacy Callender
Each of our personal spiritualities is shaped by our roots, traditions, and heritage, by our role models, mentors, and teachers, and our life experiences. Unitarian Universalism affirms not only the importance of these traditions but also that religious truth is continually being revealed to us—not just to a select group of religious founders long ago. At UUCJ, we learn from one another and encourage spiritual growth in a free and responsible search for truth to deepen our understanding and expand our vision assured that strength, power, and possibilities always lie before us. Join us as we explore how Unitarian Universalism provides us both roots and wings.
