March 15, 2026: All Ages Service: What's Next For Us?
Jeff LaBonde
This service will invite all generations into a shared practice of grounded hope and spiritual resistance, finding purpose not in guaranteed outcomes but in the sacred work of showing up for one another and for justice, step by faithful step. This service will feature the Family Choir.
Jeff LaBonde is a Philadelphia native who began working as a Music Minister while in music school. His path has included seminary studies at several institutions, shaped by his significant health challenges with epilepsy, leading to his current full-time Ministerial Internship at the UU Church of Lexington, KY.
