This service has been prerecorded, as part of a virtual “pulpit swap” among Chicago-area UU ministers.

First Zuumitarian is an online gathering with music, silence, encouraging words and the faces of friends. There will be opportunities to talk & listen with other members/friends during Cafe Hour after the service. https://uuma.zoom.us/j/4774349822
