Sun., Nov. 18, “Many Paths To First Unitarian” Returns!, 11:45 AM – 12:30PM, Starr King Room. Our members and friends have come to this church from significantly different personal spiritual pathways, and have arrived on this spiritual, inclusive, and justice centered community not by accident. Join us on Nov 18, to share in this warm community sharing story and give yourself the treat that this sharing of our personal stories makes possible. There are so many wonderfully interesting and inspiring stories from our members about their spiritual path thus far. It will be our treat and honor as the months unfold to hear from some of them. Questions? Please contact bevsmrha@gmail.com.
