UU to hear how music rises above struggles in all sects
On Sunday visiting Chaplain Dennis Peters returns to the Blue Hills Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship to celebrate the hymns inspired by Christianity and religion in general, over the centuries. Among all religious teachings and practices, this central feature — music — manages to rise above much of the struggles experienced in all sects. Peters shares that this one very positive note, inspired by religious practice, often speaks louder and sends a clearer message than many other forms of communication. Listen to some of the classics, and expect to be inspired. Third Sunday of each month is also potluck — bring a dish to share. As always, everyone is welcome to the 10 a.m. service in person at 230 W. Messenger St., Rice Lake, and on Zoom. The zoom link is sent to members, although anyone interested may request it by contacting patriciashifferd@gmail.com. For more information visit bluehillsuu.org.
