Committee. Each Sunday will have different topic and presenters and often followed by time for discussions.
August 8 – Atheism -and- Antitheism – Rev. Joan Gelbein and Abe Gelbein each presenting one of the "A's".
Unitarian Universalism includes a range of beliefs, from a liberal take
on traditional religion, to agnosticism, to various types of Humanism
(secular, religious, naturalist), and to atheism and even antitheism.
Humanists are often considered to be agnostics or atheists. Where are
you on this spectrum and what does it say about what Unitarian
Universalism needs to be doing?

to our new building is an exciting change for us, but it is a change
nevertheless, and change involves grieving what is left behind.
We will help each other identify and say goodbye to what we leave
behind and welcome what lies ahead.

anywhere special to you. Pianist Abbie Modjeska, Choir
