October 20 – “UU Core Values – Acceptance to Action”

by

Singer/Songwriter Nancy Day will come speak (and sing!) to us about UU Core Values. From Nancy Day: “I realized when considering the UU Core Values, I wanted to ask myself about each value, and if I accepted each one on a personal level. I asked myself per value, what I need to consider before going into action with these values for myself, my loved ones and my local and global community. Acceptance allows for movement, for authenticity, for change.”
