Jennifer Bacmeister presents
“Love All, Serve All”
Alyssa Halliday, Worship Leader
Eileen Morrison, Accompanist
Dr. Sunshine Simmons, Clarinet

Jennifer looks at how the seemingly innocuous marketing of a now-major entertainment franchise pointed her towards Unitarian Universalism and examines how we receive, or don’t receive, messages that can be meaningful to us.

About Our Speaker:

Jennifer Bacmeister has been a member of BBUUC since 2001. She has served many roles over the years, including Worship Committee Chair, Building Task Force, Religious Education teacher, and Board Vice President. Jennifer is an accomplished Toastmaster, one of those rare birds that actually enjoy public speaking! After years of being a Worship Leader, she added writing sermons to her skill set. She has spoken at UU churches in Huntsville, Alabama, and right down the road in Palatka, as well as to our own congregation. When not crafting services as a worship leader, or writing sermons, Jennifer enjoys tending her backyard chickens, spoiling her grandchildren, and sewing (not always in that order!).
