Sunday Service - "The Courage to Imagine Otherwise"
2026-04-26 10:00 - 11:00
…with Rev. Tracy Sprowls. Music: UUFCC Choir.
From Soul Matters: “Of all our themes this year, Embracing Possibility is arguably most central to our faith. It has distinguished Unitarian Universalists from our beginning. Historically, when others saw depravity and sin at the core of human identity, we saw potential. When many were preaching that this world is fallen, we fell in love with the possibility of heaven on earth.“ This month we explore the theme of possibility in our own lives and for this great, beautiful world.
