Service and Religious Education - 10:30 am


Maridee Edwards will be delivering this Sunday’s message at UUFJC. This is a brief synopsis of what she'll talk about. Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs.  With the Soul Matters theme this month being Deep Listening, we can look, pause, and listen - - beyond words into the deeper messages under the surface of our interactions with others.  Buddhist teachings can offer some tools to deepen our ability to listen, to hear, to see what is really happening, and rise above our limited perspective.

Children's Religious Education - 10:30 am
Children attending in-person are welcome to join RE Instructor Samantha Porter for a lesson during the service hour.
This month's theme: Invitation

This week's lesson: Listening to the Un-listed to

Lunch after Service: If you would like to join other members and friends for lunch, watch for postings, announcements, or ask about the weekly lunch location. Suggestions for places to gather are always welcome.


We will also have paper forms available Sunday morning for submissions.

Please spread the word!  Sarah Hamilton, Chair, JCRATI

The scale of destruction in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton has been utterly devastating to many communities in the southeastern United States. Some Unitarian Universalist congregations have been seriously impacted and others are still trying to assess the damage. You can help support Unitarian Universalists and their communities as they recover from this storm by giving generously to the UUA’s Disaster Relief Fund.  www.uua.org/giving/disaster-relief
