Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Lafayette
Greetings fellow UUs and
supporters!
We are meeting IN PERSON
and on Zoom until further
notice.
Our theme for February is
Resilience.
Resilience is the ability to
recover from difficult
experiences and setbacks, to
adapt, move forward and
sometimes experience
growth. It is a necessary skill
for coping with life's obstacles
and one of the key ingredients
to success.

Sunday, February 12th
Service:
Joshua Berg's sermon on
resilience begins with
contemplating the challenges
and hardships his
great-grandfather must have
endured to cross the ocean
and make a life in a land he
knew nothing about. He
focuses on the lives of
persons of color such as
Edmonia (wildfire) Lewis -- a
renowned sculptress, born at
the beginning of Jim Crow of
a black African father and
Mississauga ojibwe or
chippewa Indigenous
American mother. And John
Lewis -- brutally beaten during
the march over the Edmund
Pettus bridge in Selma,
Alabama and later to become
a U.S. Congressman.

Service Recap:
Faith-Based Resilience
Rita Schiano shares her
struggle with attending church
due to a crisis of faith. She
worries that the moral and
ethical struggles must be
dealt with urgently because
the soul of our country is at
stake. She discusses Ilsa
Reddin's 11 resilience skills --
focusing on the 7th and 8th
that deal with purpose,
meaning and the 'Big
Picture'. As UU's we possess
Spring Donations Drive:
Please help us meet our goal.
