Everything that Shimmers IS Gold
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains

Beth Karow & Randy McKean, Worship Associates
In these days of ever-present distractions, from shiny social media posts to doom-laden news streams, it is even more important that we devote attention to and nurture those subdued yet vital sparks that can sustain us. For this Tapestry Service, members of our Soul Matters groups will share their reflections on exploring both inner and outer worlds.
Pay Attention! Jill Banwell
