Chalice Admin
SUNDAY SERVICE
Onsite & Online ~ 10 am
Bethany Simonsen & Tim Snowber
Talking to a Brick Wall
Sometimes it feels like there's no way to reach people who disagree with us on important topics like immigration, LGBTQIA rights, or how to fix our broken healthcare system. It can feel pointless, like you're talking to a brick wall. Bethany Simonsen will tell us about her journey from being a devout Mormon to becoming a UU, and what experiences helped knock down the walls that kept her from hearing what the other side was saying. There are things we can do to create meaningful dialogue and move past the conflict inherent in Us vs Them.
The registration link below will allow you to register for the service with your preferred email address. A service link will then be sent to that email. This service link will be active 5 minutes prior to the service. As an added benefit, you’ll be sent a recording of the service after it is done streaming!
