It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”

Service Notes
Today, 40% of our offering will go to the UUA towards efforts to help those affected by the recent hurricanes. It is expected that the cleanup effort will be long, and many have been displaced. Please give what you can to help out those in the path of these recent storms. Thank you!
