A Distant Mirror

6/8/2015

Sunday morning, Rev. Mike’s message was entitled “How Are You Using Your Future Today?”  As UUs we can have many different visions and ideas about the future, including that age-old religious question of what happens after we die.  Such questions may seem far on the horizon, but Rev. Mike argued that our ideas about what the world is like and how we should be in it today are reflected in and entwined with what we believe about that horizon.

Next Sunday, June 14th:

Adult Forum – 9:15 am
“The Mark of Cain:  Examining Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Death Sentence,” Betty Cooper
