Valentine's Day celebrations can gag us with their sentimental expressions of affection. But given all that that talk of love in the air this month, we might as well consider it. Loving others can, at least sometimes, can be easy. But loving ourselves? Well, maybe not so much. It's an understatement to say that religious doctrines that focus on original sin and guilt aren’t helpful; this attitude has hobbled western consciousness for centuries. Unitarian Universalism dares to say otherwise. Our challenge is to be faithful practitioners.

Speaker: Sally Beth Shore

The first guiding Principle of Unitarian Universalism is the inherent worth and dignity of every person. UUTC welcomes all—persons of various ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, theological and political beliefs, socio-economic status, educational backgrounds, abilities and ethnicities. Services are at 9:15 and 11:00am. The building is wheelchair accessible, dress may be casual and visitors of all ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, and beliefs are warmly welcomed.

Children's Religious Education classes are available during the 9:15 am service. The younger class is for ages 4-7 and the older class is for ages 8 and up. Each class is overseen by two adults and emphasizes fun and enriching activities about how to be a better, more caring person and how to make the world a better place for everyone.

Join us for coffee after both services.
