Spring Inflection: Faith in Nature
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
March 23, 2025
Lindsay Dunckel and Elizabeth Rose, Worship Associates
We gather just after the Spring equinox, as the light begins to overturn the looming darkness. Trusting in this season of renewal, we’ll explore through ritual, words, and song what in us is called to emerge.
