September 24 - “Lay Your Burden Down” – Rev. Margie Allen

People Talking About Unitarian Universalism
This video was created by the Unitarian Universalist Association to give people an introduction to Unitarian Universalism.
If you are interested in Unitarian Universalism, we hope you’ll visit us to learn more. If attending our services doesn’t fit your life, you might want to investigate the Church of the Larger Fellowship, a virtual congregation of Unitarian Universalists, with more than 3,500 members around the U.S. They hold online services on Sundays at 8 p.m., and on Mondays at 9 a.m. or 1:30 p.m.
You can find them at clfuu.org.
