Stepping In, Stepping Out
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
June 16, 2024
Beth Karow & Carol Nimick, Worship Associates
Renewal happens as we mindfully ’step-in’ to each moment with each breath or we ‘step-away’ for new perspectives and experiences. Renewal is integral to the life of our beings, community, planet. We’ll explore the diverse range of opportunity to renew ourselves, our beliefs, and UU faith.
