This Sunday, January 24th, we continue with our theme of the month, Grace and Mercy. Special guest speaker Rev. Alex Holt will be delivering the sermon on how UU spirituality can guide one’s recovery from addiction in his message titled, “Awakening and Recovery.” Additionally, Katharine Lion and Oliver will share a Story for All Ages, Les Rorick and Kristina McCloskey will bring us a song, and the BUUF Musicians have some more really great music.
Join the service to learn more about how addiction develops and how to help oneself or others in recovery. Also, you are encouraged to invite friends and family members who might benefit or have wisdom to offer during Circle Talk. Zoom in this Sunday.

Berrien UU Fellowship serves lunch at the Benton Harbor Soup Kitchen the first Saturday of every even-numbered month (February, April, June, August, October and December). Berrien UU volunteers prepare the meal, greet guests and help clean up the kitchen. This is a terrific opportunity to serve the greater community, support our Social Justice mission and enjoy the company of fellow BUUFers and guests at the kitchen. Rev. Jim McConnell generously leads the group in planning the meal and dessert and he will gladly find a role for all volunteers, whether they’ve helped dozens of times or this is their first time. Please consider coming to the Soup Kitchen to help, even if it’s only for an hour or two.
The Soup Kitchen is located at 233 Michigan Street in Benton Harbor.
