10:00 am: Sunday Service: A Curiosity about This Thing Called Aging


February 18, 2024

In-person & Live-stream.

We will explore together the phenomenon of aging, not just as it happens during our elderly years, but as it occurs within each one of us, each day, every moment. We’ll visit different vantage points of this state of change that we apparently have no choice but to experience, if we are so fortunate to experience it at all. Prepare to feel appreciation for yourself.

She focuses much of her work on resilience and perspective-shifting when things happen beyond one’s planning or control. Lauren is also the mother of two young men who have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. She is a vocal mental health advocate for disability rights. Lauren is a life-long Unitarian Universalist. She lives together with her husband, two sons, a dog, two cats, and a spiny-tailed lizard. She enjoys hiking, writing, photography, singing, speaking, and eating desserts.

7:00 pm: Adult RE: What does love mean to UUs?


February 21, 2024

Wednesday, February 21 7:00-8:30


Join us for a hybrid zoom and in person discussion led by Cassie Lengel and Rev. Dan on Wednesday February 21st from 7-8:30pm as we explore the place of love in Unitarian Universalism. What is love?  What if we said that love is as love does? What does it mean to see love as an action and not just a sentimental feeling? Unitarian Universalism has always been about living out our values, so where does love fit in? If we gather as an organization on the side of love, where is love leading us next? RSVP to DLFD@ucwc.org with how you would prefer to attend, or join us in person or online as you are able!
