We will host an online worship service on Sunday, July 19th at 11:15 am.
“The Failure Confessions” – Rev. Allison Farnum
This Sunday your guest preacher the Rev. Allison Farnum will let you in on a little secret. You ain’t perfect, and neither is she! Join us this Sunday as we put the fun in failure. Our faith tells us life is not a test, instead a process where the Spirit of Love lures us to learning over being learned. Lay the burden of perfection down! Hallelujah! Bring a sharpie and two 8.5” x 11” (ish) pieces of blank paper.
The Rev. Allison Farnum serves as Director of the Unitarian Universalist Prison Ministry of Illinois. She recently returned to the Chicago area from over a decade serving her first call as minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Myers, FL. A graduate of Meadville Lombard Theological School, she has also served as an Adjunct Consultant for our UUA’s MidAmerica Region. She credits Second Unitarian Church of Chicago for her call to ministry and now serves Rev. Jason Lydon’s ministry as an affiliated community minister. Allison loves all things culinary and is a proud mother of two, and wife to her beloved Andy.
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 during the summer so that we can gather together as a whole community of faith.
