Beyond Categorical Thinking: What This Moment in Time, a T-Rex Named Penelope, Pittsburgh, and a Theologian Can Teach Us About the Future of religion and Our Commitment to Equity and Justice

Religion, including Unitarian Universalism, is at a moment in time. Can it survive? And what must we do in order to survive? What must we do? We’ll explore our place in today’s world and why it is metaphorical meteorites, and not a comet, that could wipe us out.

Join us for both Thanksgiving Seder & Thanksgiving dinner. This year we are reviving old traditions with a new touch. Starting at 11am we will have a Seder service with various readers reading a new Seder service prior to the meal in the parish hall. we will then immediately begin our annual thanksgiving potluck directly following the service all activities will take place in the hall.

Join us on Sunday November 14th for a hymn sing. We will be singing along to some of the favorite hymns chosen by members of the congregation. music will be provided by Jeremy Jacobson
