 Sunday February 1 - Currency of Love - Rev. Kelly Dignan Rev. Kelly will kick off our pledge canvass and talk about about money and love. “Money flows through all our lives, sometimes like a rushing river, sometimes like a trickle. When it is flowing, it can purify, cleanse, create growth and nourish. Like water, money is a carrier. It can carry possibility, and intention or it can carry control, domination and guilt. It can be a current or currency of love—a conduit for commitment—or a carrier of hurt or harm,” Lynn Twist, the Soul of Money. Together at UUCG, let's make money a currency of love and a conduit for commitment to our faith and future! February 1st: Share Our Plate Our entire offering plate collection will be shared with SEVA Community.
