We want to do our best, right? The more something matters to many of us, the heavier the weight of responsibility becomes that we ‘get it right’. What if ‘getting it right’ were as simple as giving up on being right all the time? This Sunday, Rev. Jenny Peek shares her message on perfectionism, naming it for the troublemaker it is in our faith community.

Daylight Savings Time, so set your clocks!!

Each of us has a story of who we were, who we are becoming, and who we want to be. Sharing examples from her own story from Mormonism to Unitarian Universalism, Jeannine will invite those present to reflect on who loved you into this place, and the things we want to let go of or give thanks for.

The comfort zone in which most folks live is so appealing because it works! Well, sort of. Kind of? Join us this Sunday as Rev.

The word love can mean many different things and the meaning changes with context.  In reworking our principles into a structure that focuses on values and action, the Article ii Study Commission has put Love at the center of all we profess and do as Unitarian Universalists.  What does love mean in this context? What does it mean to ground the work of this fellowship in love? Our service Sunday will be both in person at our location 160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls as well as on ZOOM beginning at 10:30 AM Mountain Time. 

Jeannine Robinett will speak.
