or somewhere in between.

January 22: Rev. Valerie T. Wills. When Harmony is Disturbed. When justice fails
we are unsettled and have difficulty carrying on with our high ideals. What can we

full of changes and surprises. This is an intergenerational service for everyone

six of her art quilts. Singing practice from 10:25-10:30 a.m. Come learn some
February 12: Rev. Valerie T. Wills. A Culture of Covenant. We are more than

democracy in the functioning of our church. Family Service: children join the

February 19: UUCH Players. Strong is What We Make One Another. A play with a

February 26: Rev. Valerie T. Wills. The Well-lived Life. The well lived life is one of
satisfaction…or is it one of achievement, adventure or humble living, monetary

that we want to lead one.
