• October 20 – UU History. Religious education can be defined as learning where we come from, how to live a good life, and how to figure out where we are going. Let’s take a look at where we come from. Where do our Unitarian roots begin and where do the Universalist roots start? Who are some of the Unitarians and Universalists who preceded us? Rev. Byrd will tell us our story. facilitator Gail deSomer
