The Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching; Cassie Winters, worship associate. At the beginning of a new Presidential Era we find ourselves full with a mixture of sometimes conflicting feelings. It is important to remember that this is not the first time there have been serious concerns about the leaders of our country, nor will it be the last. The difference this time is that we think we know what is coming and the news and social media fill in the gaps left by our imaginations. This Sunday we will look at how to apply our UU values and the wisdom of our ancient teachers to the political challenges we face today. Join us for worship in-person or online.
