Sunday Service: "Antidotes for Despair" with Rev. Michael Brown @ Zoom Meeting
This Sunday, May 31st, we have a special treat for worship. Rev. Michael Brown, Minister Emeritus of the Peoria Unitarian Universalist congregation and once-upon-a-time student minister here at BUUF, will join us by Zoom to talk about how innovation and inspiration can be antidotes for despair.  Additionally, we will have a Story for All Ages about dragons (the kind one finds laying around the house), the BUUF musicians will select and make some wonderful music, Jeff Green will light the Chalice, Nico Rojas will coordinate the Zoom service, and Lisa Fuller will make the service visually attractive.
If sheltering-in has got you a little down, this might be a great service for you.
The Zoom link, Meeting ID and password will be sent out on Saturday with the emailed Order of Service. Please check your inbox! If you don’t receive the Order of Service by end of day Saturday, please email Joanne Krettek at office@berrienuu.org or call her at 269-612-8886.
