"Accountability to the Earth" - Rev. Dr. Michael Tino, Guest Minister
The beginning of August is celebrated in European paganism as the beginning of the harvest season, known as Lammas or Lughnasadh. Though we are a little late for that specific day, we will celebrate together the ways in which the Earth sustains our lives, and ponder what accountability means in this context.
Join us in person this Sunday at 10:00am for an hour-long service followed immediately by a coffee hour featuring refreshments and snacks. All are welcome.

FUSW will host the service for both their congregation and UUCHV congregants in person at their new sanctuary at
210 N. Central Ave., Hartsdale, NY, 10530 and via Zoom at 10:30 a.m. on August 24th.
Sundays for children and youth
Children are encouraged to join their families in the sanctuary where they are welcome to help ring the building’s bell. After the first 15-20 minutes of the service, they have the option of joining the religious exploration leader in the adjoining hall for activities and age-appropriate religious exploration. Childcare is also available for the very young. Of course, all are welcome to remain in the sanctuary for the entire service.
