Sunday morning, we continued our monthly theme of Healing with a service featuring reflections by UUFJC members on the question of "How we Heal." Katherine Connor talked about times when the support of others helped her heal from self-descructive anger, and how the support of UUFJC still helps her balance when to let things go and when to do something about them. Jim Davis talked about how UUism has been a place of healing for him after his fundamentalist religious upbringing. Both of them emphasized one point in common: How do we heal? Katherine and Jim said, "We heal together."
For those who would like to keep up with our neighbors at the UU Church of Columbia, their service from this morning is available to view online: https://youtu.be/XVOKA_iSM2o
Next Sunday, August 15th:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"Critical Race Theory," Frank Rycyk
"In his 1992 book, Faces at the Bottom of the Well, Derrick Bell used the techniques of fiction to dramatize his ideas about racism." (Quote headlines an essay by Adam Kirsch in the Wall Street Journal, June 25th, 2021.)

She is found after weeks but is considered tainted by her deeply religious family. She later moves to St. Louis and tries to put the past behind her until a detective wants her help with a case similar to hers. She then must untangle the truth of what really happened to her. Critics have praised McHugh’s novels for their unique characters, intriguing plots, and sense of place.
