Join us Sunday, April 25 at 11am, for a virtual sermon on – Fun! – as we explore the idea of Playfulness as a Spiritual Practice. In this service, guest speaker and Ministerial Aspirant with the Unitarian Universalist Association, Roddy Biggs, will share insights, reflections, and pearls of wisdom learned during the time they spent a few weeks prior engaging in Spiritual Playfulness work and rest at the Southeast UU Ministers Association Spring Retreat in the Smokey Mountains.
