HUMBOLDT UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST FELLOWSHIP
Bayside (24Fellowship Way): “Spirit of Life, Come to Me” will be the topic explored by fellowship members Bonnie MacGregor and Laura Phelan-Shahin in a hybrid service on the patio and via Zoom Sunday at 11am. Often in times of trouble one calls out in hopes there is some “One” beyond that might help. Then, crisis over, one goes back to everyday life never looking back. This pattern doesn’t work well in these days of constant crisis. Is there any One to call out to? Inspired by the Soul Matters topic “Cultivating Relationship,” MacGregor, Phelan-Shahin and other fellowship members will lead up to the edge of that question: Is there a God/ Ultimate Source/Higher Power? Can one cultivate a relationship with this Power/Spirit? What can this look like? The service can be viewed live by going to huuf. org and accessing the link. It is also available recorded on the same website
