Holy Days & Holidays: Mardi Gras and Lent


UU Lessons for the Week:

  • The  Principles of Unitarian Universalism Review – what do we believe as Unitarian Universalists? We’ll review the principles of Unitarian Universalism together while in our chalice lighting circle. 
  • The 3rd Principle: We believe that we should accept one another and keep on learning together. We will read storiesabout BIPOC heroes and discuss ways to model our lives after them . 
  • Mardi Gras and Lent: What’s Mardi Gras? What’s Lent? And why can we expect some of our friends to have ashes on their foreheads this Wednesday?
