Love Requires Courage
with Burt Gershater, Guest Speaker
Sunday, October 11th at 10 a.m.
Featuring music from our choir.
Sure, love is a feeling, but as many of us know, it is also a daily choice and hard work that often challenges our very nature. I believe we can and should all work to get better at our love skills. Why? A world with more love is what most of us would prefer.
Burt Gershater is a life coach and mentor and has been in private practice, leading seminars, and delivering keynote talks since the mid-1970s. Burt is a published writer and poet. His book, No Guts, No Love, has brought inspiration to thousands of readers around the globe.

OUR MINISTER
On Connectedness
by Rev. Scott
In 1820 in Boston, Unitarian minister William Ellery Channing said, “Religion, we are told, is a private, personal thing, between the individual and God. His neighbor or the community must not meddle with it… I would maintain that religion is eminently a social principle… The social character of religion is not sufficiently regarded.”
OUR BELIEFS
Diverse Beliefs, One Fellowship
Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations draw on elements of a variety of religious traditions, as well as humanitarian and environmental values, for our spiritual inspiration and practice. UUs have a diversity of beliefs, and may identify as humanists, atheists, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, something else, or nothing at all. As we celebrate diversity, we also have a set of core beliefs that unite us.
