Now displaying: Category: Imagination
Jan 31, 2021

This podcast is from the worship service live streamed on January 31, 2021. Rev. Nancy McDonald Ladd from Bethesda, Maryland speaks powerfully from her Washington, DC neighborhood and asks, "Whose imaginations created our current national culture and our spiritual community? Whose voices and stories do we need to lift up?"

The theme for January is what it means to be a people of imagination. To read about our theme-based ministry, please visit http://www.unitytemple.org/faith-development/soul-connections on our website.

For the safety of all in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, UTUUC will NOT be holding in–person worship until further notice. We have also cancelled or postponed any congregational events that would have taken place.

This podcast is from the worship service live streamed on January 17, 2021 and led by Minister of Faith Development Rev. Emily Gage.
