This Sunday at Northwoods

Join us Sundays at 10:30 a.m.

In person and online.

Smooth Stones, Rough Edges:

Revelation Isn’t Always Comfortable

What happens when our faith’s guiding principles meet the messiness of real life? Unitarian Universalism invites us to evolve, rethink, and grow, which is exhilarating… and exhausting. This Sunday, we’ll reflect on the challenges of living in a faith that doesn’t let us stay in our comfort zones—and why that’s ultimately good news.

By Rev. Sarah Prickett

With music by Klay Vage
