Description

Lake Fellowship warmly welcomes our guest speaker, Audrey McCann (she/they). Audrey is a UU seminarian at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. She also serves as the Director of Children and Family Ministries at the UU Fellowship of Northfield, MN.

About the program: Both in the public square and in our daily lives, we are often trying to draw lines between what—or who—is deserving of our time, our attention, our money. Kindness, though, is not something earned by merit or rescinded by personal preference. There is no such thing as deserving kindness, but we all owe it to one another. We will explore the Hebrew word for compassion, "Rachamim", and what it can teach us about centering love in community.
