This week’s message introduces the May theme of story and the role of stories in passing on wisdom and inspiration through the generations. Rev. Lisa reflects on how we each have a spiritual story to tell and to share as a part of our living tradition.
As part of May’s Story theme, we encourage you to read the latest UUConnectMonthly newsletter and to have fun writing your own 6 word life story.

Solar for ALL: MNIPL’s May Community Connector Webinar
THIS TUESDAY, May 4, from 7-8 PM on Zoom
Click here to register. You probably are aware that going solar can help cut utility bills and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And costs for clean energy through a variety of solar options continue to drop. But switching to solar, as a homeowner or a congregation, can be intimidating.
Join Whitney Terrill and Buff Grace with MNIPL as we explore the vital climate healing work of solar energy. We will summarize the many projects MNIPL has created to help homeowners and faith communities go solar, whether solar is possible without taking on debt, and how we can ensure a just transition to solar with equitable opportunities for all. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation.
