Program

UUs and Spirituality

Dan Larson will lead a discussion around Unitarian Universalism and spirituality, where we'll explore the following questions: How do you define spirituality? What does spiritual growth mean to you? Should there be more of a focus on spiritually at LFUU (programming) and/or exploration options (adult RE)? Come prepared to talk through these questions and more, and have an open dialogue on this topic.

Water Ceremony & Welcome 2024

As has been our tradition for more than a decade, we will start our new season of programs with a Water Ceremony. The Water Ceremony is a great way to reconvene after summer break. For those who may not be familiar with this annual tradition, members and friends bring to the service a small amount of water that represents something of significance for them.  One by one the water is poured into a larger bowl. This is more than a “what I did this summer” report, and represents a re-gathering of our community.

Please join us, for our final program of the 2023 - 2024 program year!  This year, we're continuing our "Photo of the Year" feature. We will be sharing our "Photo of the Year" with one another, in a slideshow presentation format. We'd like you to select your single favorite photo from the past year. You don't need to have taken the photo, but if you use someone else's work, please be sure to credit the photographer. The photo can be of any family-friendly subject: historic, natural, portrait, or scenic -- whatever you'd like to share.

The Gift of Pluralism

"Pluralism isn’t easy. It’s a constant willingness to self-challenge and to look at where we might be wrong, or limited; even with regard to pluralism itself. It requires a capacity to detach ourselves from our agendas, our beliefs, our commitments, and to recognize that there may be other ways.

There's Room for All of Us: The intersection of identity and interdependence.

In this program, Lake Fellowship member Marnie Karger will lead us through an exploration of identity and interdependence -- the three-way intersection of where I stop, where you begin, and where we coexist. We’ll welcome our egos to the conversation as we discover the “we” in you and me.
