I'm actively trying to start a UU fellowship in my area. I posted in the Unitarian community, which led me to a contact in the Southwestern Conference of UUA. And I've already received an email back from the POC. YEA ( Read more... )

I've been giving it a lot of thought and I don't think we'll celebrate Easter this year. I personally don't want to even do an egg hunt for the kids.
