Faith in Mystery
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
December 17, 2023
Randy McKean and Sophia McKean, Worship Associates
Often, faith is not something we as Unitarian Universalists recognize as part of our religious experience. This Sunday, we’ll ask each other about our relationships to faith—times that we put our trust in the mysterious and unprovable—and explore what faith can feel and look like for us.
