UUCville COMMUNITY WORSHIP

July 12, 2026

Character Is What You Are In the Dark

 11 a.m. Sunday, July 12, 2026
Greg Townsend & Lauren DoranA person’s true character is who they are on a fundamental level, drawing from their deeply held values and principles. It is often the case that this character is tested and manifested in times of darkness. Today’s service will focus on how we prove to ourselves who we really are when we are unobserved, under duress, or uncertain. And how important it is to hold on to who we are, and to recognize that others are also being tested in ways that are unseen to us.**We apologize for the inconvenience resulting from the issues with our Zoom. We are working to resolve these problems. Thank you for your patience!**Those joining via Zoom are welcome to stay after the service until 12:30pm for online “Coffee Hour”
