Easter: Hope Without Resurrection
Service Leader:  Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Sunday, March 27 at 9:30 AM & 11:15 AM

Beyond Service
Service Leader:  Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray

General Assembly 2016
Theme: Heart Land: Where Faiths Connect

Dates: June 22-26, 2016

Location: Columbus, OH
Registration opened online March 1 at www.uua.org.
The faith world is increasingly multifaith. People are crossing borders of religion and spiritual practice to create wholeness in their lives individually and collectively. The labels-Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, theist and non-theist-no longer define who or what we love, or how spirit moves in our lives. General Assembly 2016 in Columbus Ohio will assemble leaders and communities of many faiths to worship together, learn from one another, and create a new vision of faith that no longer divides us, but connects us to an interdependent future that works for all.
