Order of Service – August 8, 2021



Braiding Sweetgrass - The Rev. Bob LaVallee, First UU Church of Albuquerque



 “Our seventh Principle may be our Unitarian Universalist way of coming to fully embrace something greater than ourselves. The interdependent web—expressed as the spirit of life, the ground of all being, the oneness of all existence, the community-forming power, the process of life, the creative force, even God—can help us develop that social understanding of ourselves that we and our culture so desperately need. It is a source of meaning to which we can dedicate our lives.” 

—Rev. Forrest Gilmore, Executive Director of Shalom Community Center, Bloomington, IN

Theme Question for 2020-21:  

How can we be mindful and authentic in cherishing all life?
