The Rev. Carmen Emerson, 

BBUUC Affiliated Community Minister, will present

“Keeping Infinite Faith with Hope”

With Elizabeth DeCoux as Worship Leader

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once wrote that as human beings, as people of faith, we can “…accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope…” This sermon description is being written and published before the 2020 election, and we don’t know—yet—what the results are going to be. Whichever way it goes, what does it mean for us, as Unitarian Universalists, to keep infinite faith with hope? 

About our Speaker:

During this time of social distancing, when in-person worship has been suspended, BBUUC will continue our weekly worship in video format that you can find on YouTube each Sunday morning at the “BBUUC Video” channel. Simply subscribe to the channel on YouTube, and watch our weekly worship services, modified for video viewing until we can resume gathering together for worship in our church sanctuary. The worship videos will remain on the site for viewing at your convenience. New services are posted at 6am on Sunday mornings.

We invite you to submit your Joys and Concerns via email to office@bbuuc.org by Tuesday at noon of each week for inclusion in the upcoming Sunday’s worship service. Please note “J&C” in the subject line. For your privacy, we will share our Joys and Concerns using first names and last initials only.
