“The Welcome Table"
Rev. John Gibb Millspaugh, Guest Minister 
9:15 and 11:00 AM

In a service featuring magic, humor, personal stories, and two statistics, the chair of the UUA President’s Advisory Committee on Food (!)  brings a message of inspiration and inclusion to our congregation. Food matters for personal, public, and planetary well-being. What food adventure are you up for?  Music:  9:15 AM Molly Smith, Vocalist; 11:00 AM UUCR Choir
