Meeting ID: 960 5246 5552
Passcode: fuusm2323

Please note: our guest speaker does not wish his reflection to be publicly
broadcast or recorded, so this service will *NOT be broadcast on Facebook
Live* or recorded on Zoom.

Please bring a snack to share for Coffee Hour. We remain well endowed with
crackers, and still have two packages of Girl Scout cookies, but not much
else. Please help make FUUSM more welcoming and coffee hour more enjoyable
by bringing something tasty to share.

Memorial and Moral Injury, Stephen DiLorenzo, guest speaker, via Zoom

There are more constructive ways to engage with memorializing that are more
aligned with our Unitarian Universalist principles.
