‘This I Believe’ from UUCWI congregation
In an annual tradition at Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island, several members of the congregation will speak about their personal beliefs at this Sunday’s service.
Through this sharing, everyone will come to know each other in more meaningful ways and be motivated and challenged to think more deeply about their own beliefs.
The service starts at 10 a.m. Values-based children’s religious exploration classes and childcare will be provided.
UUCWI gathers at 20103 Highway 525, just north of Freeland. Check www.whidbey.com/uucwi for more information.
‘God’s Will’ is topic of Sunday service
Richard Burdsal’s talk at Unity of Whidbey on Sunday is entitled “God’s Will.”
Burdsal says he often finds an internal debate happening about whether or not what’s going on could be God’s will for him. Since he’s probably not alone in pondering that question, it may be interesting to hear how he handles it.
Supportive music will be provided by Annette Bader.
Unity services are held at 10 a.m. in Bayview Community Hall and everybody is welcome.
