Sunday January 19, 2025 @ 10 a.m.

Our planet faces so many crises, it can be hard to read the news. And yet, throughout the world, Indigenous communities and nations hold out a different way of being. Guest preacher, Claire Karl Muller will speak to this vision, finding our personal stake in it and what UU Mass Action is doing with Indigenous leaders here in Massachusetts to get there. Find out more about UU Mass Action on their website www.uumassaction.org
