Bring a dish to share (please identify all ingredients), a serving utensil (if needed) AND YOUR OWN PLACE SETTING & WATER BOTTLE – this is a low impact meal. We will not use the kitchen.

Partner Church team meeting, 11/9

Change Your Perspective with the Partner Church Team.

We are a standing committee of the UUFC Justice Council and our mission is to enhance and deepen the relationship between our congregation and our partner churches.

The process of “reframing” your perspective involves self-reflection, embracing humility to learn from others, and a commitment to challenging your own limiting stories and beliefs.
We will continue the conversation at our next meeting. Please join us.

To find out more and to join our team, please contact Heather E. via email.

Kirtan with Bhakti Heart, 11/14

by

What happens when two inspiring, award-winning singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists join together to share their love of devotional music? The answer is the uplifting, joy-inducing duo Bhakti Heart, a collaboration between Laura Kemp and Len Seligman. Leading original and traditional sacred songs from diverse traditions, their gatherings are a heart-opening and moving experience. Their voices blend with rich harmonies, and their joy in creating music together is obvious and infectious. Both are highly accomplished musicians on several instruments, including guitar, harmonium, octave mandolin, and hand pan.

Please join us for a joyous, uplifting gathering, singing and chanting sacred songs and sounds from diverse traditions. All are welcome, regardless of musical experience or spiritual background. We look forward to singing with you!
