Decorah UU will NOT hold a service on June 26. Instead, everyone is being encouraged to remotely join the largest annual UU worship experience, available online via https://www.uua.org/ga/off-site/2022, streaming at 11:30 a.m. Central.

The Rev. Gretchen Haley, Senior Minister of the Foothills Unitarian Universalist Church in Fort Collins, CO, will lead the service, which has this description: “The last few years have not been easy, including in our local congregations. Whole swaths of members have simply stopped coming; COVID is confusing, and polarizing; many ministers have joined the great resignation; and Pew studies and friends alike have pronounced the end of the local church. In this moment, when so many of us might be wondering if we should just give up, and relent, now’s the time instead to double down on our commitment to the local church—this unique community that saves us and also breaks our hearts—often much more of the latter than we’d like to admit. In the midst of our culture of death, the church is a place of life. Or it is, as long as we are willing to bring our own lives to it. Join us for a morning of celebration, witness, and future-visioning for the already and not yet power of the local Unitarian Universalist church.” Keep in mind, too, that there are other worship services earlier in the week you can also join virtually! See https://www.uua.org/ga/off-site/2022 for more information.

All are welcome to join us at Sunday Fellowship either in-person (usually at the Lingonberry but the service description will note if it is elsewhere) or remotely via Zoom. We have transitioned back to an every-Sunday service.
