With the understanding that there are worse problems in the world than figuring out how to title a blog post about events at your favorite hilltop Unitarian Universalist fellowship, as "this week" or "this weekend" might not achieve the level of accuracy we crave, today we unveil "UUpcoming" and hope that is sufficient both as a descriptor and as a pun.
(Don't forget to visit our newsletter for a schedule of services throughout December.)

LAST SUNDAY'S SERVICE
Prof. Bill Poehner led Discussion Sunday's collaborative talk on Gratitude, fitting for the week after Thanksgiving and the earnest beginning of the holiday season. Discussion Sunday is usually the first Sunday of the month and is followed by a potluck. January's Discussion Sunday will feature Letters to My Younger/Older Self.
