Many of us at Blue Hills UU have followed the changes in our national UU organization based in Boston and the summer gatherings of Unitarian Universalists at our annual General Assembly the past several years. Our own Judy Barisonzi and Pat Shifferd have attended as our appointed delegates to many of the sessions during this time. This past June, Judy attended the business sessions on line via Zoom etal.
Also attending, in person at these summer sessions, has been our friend and oft-zoomed speaker at our Sunday services, Arthur Thexton. As a life long Unitarian, Thexton attended Meadville/Lombard Theological School, receiving an M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Chicago Divinity School in 1974, before continuing an education in the practice of law.
Both Arthur and Judy will be with us this coming Sunday, July 27th to share their impressions and take-aways from the current UU-GA of this summer; we might expect some of the issues we’ve been concerned about regarding changes to our Unitarian practices and traditions will be addressed. Be with us for what should be an informative and valuable Sunday morning for those caring about the future of our religious faith.
Blue Hills UU invites everyone to services, beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday mornings in the fellowship hall, 230 W. Messenger St., Rice Lake, and also on Zoom. The zoom link is sent to members, however all interested may request this weeks link by contacting patriciashifferd@gmail.com.
