 April 3 Ordination Service Posted in Livestream Archive If you want to see for yourself why our service ordaining the Rev. Shari Woodbury was so powerful... or if you were there and want to let Rev. Dr. Barker remind you why church matters in his sermon -- or re-live Rev. Macklin's antics in her Charge to the Minister -- or soak in Rev. Child's Charge to the People (that's us!) -- you can watch the service here: http://uubloomington.yourstreamlive.com/ . |
For More Information see the April 4 issue of our newsletter, The Prologue.
