"Together We Can Change the World"
The Reverend Douglas Wadkins
This continues to be an important time in the world and for our country to think about the implication of race and privilege. As we honor the memory of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we will look at some of the work being done in this congregation, and some of the possibilities for the future in our efforts to change the world.

Young Adult Lunch Jan. 17
I.U. students and other interested young adults (ages 18-35) are invited to an informal lunch gathering on Sunday, January 17. We'll meet at the back of the sanctuary after the 11:15 service, choose a place to eat that fits group tastes and budgets, and carpool over together. Rev. Mary Ann Macklin will join the group. This is a nice way to connect with other UU students and young adults and build community!

We Are Sorry the "Alive Inside" Film Screening on January 12 Had to Be Canceled
On Tuesday morning, January 12, because of hazardous driving conditions due to snowfall and periodic white-outs, our staff made the decision to cancel the "Alive Inside" film screening scheduled for 11:00 a.m., for safety reasons. This change was posted on our website, our Facebook page, and our online church calendar. Staff were unable to reach the church before about 10:30 a.m. that day, and we are sorry if anyone arrived before that time to see the film and found no one here. The film screening will be rescheduled. Please watch The Prologue, the Sunday order of service, and our Facebook page for the new date and time.
