Our worship service will begin at 10:00 DST this morning in person and on Zoom. Join us for our August worship series, Awakening, as our minister, Lóre Stevens, shares her message, “Stay Woke.”
These days, we usually hear the word “woke” used derogatorily by the right-wing. But where did it come from and what did it originally mean? Let’s consider how staying woke relates to spiritual awakening.
To attend by Zoom, please install the Zoom app on your device and use Meeting ID: 890 7958 2989. We will begin admitting guests at 9:45 a.m.
Please email or text Prayer Requests to: joysandsorrows@oruuc.org.
