This Sunday's Service
October 13, 2024: "Slow Down and Take Care"
Denise Breeden-Ost, Laura Lasuertmer
Erica Whichello, Worship Associate
How do we know we belong in a community? How are new arrivals welcomed in, less assertive voices heard? How do we come to trust and know one another more deeply? Denise Breeden-Ost and Laura Lasuertmer from Women Writing for (a) Change will share reflections on how thoughtful practices and simple tools help create communities of trust and belonging. WWf(a)C's writing circles invite adults and youth, incarcerated people, and people with intellectual disabilities into a space of acceptance and careful listening. These practices and tools can also support community at UUCB, as they did during our recent ministerial search.
