Board Welcome: Sarah Carlson, Chris McClure
Plate Split: Reggie's Sleepout
Facilitators: Amy Slagell, Peggy Earnshaw
Accompanist: Amber Anderson
Special Music: Dan and Sue Haug

The American Buddhist nun Pema Chodron teaches that we spend
too much energy trying to improve ourselves rather than
befriending who we are and cherishing what we have. This
service explores some of her teachings of trusting the basic
wisdom that exists already in who we are and what we have.
Mar 8 "Flickers of Shared Experience" Speakers: Guest Minister [46,37]
Shepherd: Sarah Carlson
Board Welcome: Sue Koehrsen, Jane Runneals
Facilitators: Dan Haug, Ralph Gandy
Accompanist: Peggy Earnshaw
Special Music:
Sound: Sam Wormley
As Unitarian Universalists, we often wonder how to talk with
those with whom we see things differently. Building trust to
find flickers of shared experience can lead us towards deeper
relationships, even when we disagree.
