We will host an online worship service on Sunday, May 9th at 11:15 am.

The Mother in All of Us

Mothers are often expected to possess super human capacity for loving, giving, and forgiving. Of course, mothers are only human. But how would the world be different if each of us practiced loving all children as our children?

Please submit your Joys and Sorrows through this online form. If you submit a message by 11 am, we will try to read it that Sunday. Thank you for your patience as we are adapting to best serve you all! Note there will only be one service time so that we can gather together as a whole community of faith. You can still give to the shared offering through “text to give,” mail a check to the office with “shared offering” in the memo line, or go to our website and hit “give” on the upper right or click here. This Sunday’s shared offering recipient is the UU Prison Ministry of Illinois.
