And A Child Shall Lead Them

Come take a peek behind what happens in small groups on Sunday mornings, as our 5th graders share their statements about the UU value that speaks to them. This service is an important Rite of Passage for our 5th graders and an invitation to us all to reflect on how we live our values. Join us this Sunday to hear Rev. Robin's homily, "And A Child Shall Lead Them," and the Kids' Chorus.
