This service focuses on lessons from the 1921 Tulsa race massacre that may be relevant to how we as Unitarian Universalists live our values in 2021. This massacre was one of the single worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history, and likely killed or injured...

Do you ever pick up a beautiful stone along the lakeshore and wonder where it came from or whether it held any meaning to ancient cultures? Michiganders are blessed with three Great Lakes surrounding us that bring us unimaginable treasures that each have a story to tell. Nichole and Lynn will share the meaning of stones in Michigan and how they relate to our inward selves. You’ll hear stories and legends passed down for centuries about how many common stones came to be. Whether you just marvel at their beauty and geological significance or you believe rocks and crystals create balance and direction in our everyday lives, you’ll enjoy hearing about the things we’ve had under our feet all along!
