Please join UUCP for today’s in-person and Zoom service, “Fulfilling a Mission of Peace: The Unexpected Friendships: Richard the Lionheart, Caliph Saladin, Maimonides, and Francis of Assisi” at 10:30 A.M. led by Rev. Sonia Ketchian and Guest Minister, Rev. Dr. Khadijah Matin.

We often think we know the whole story of the Crusades and the historical characters. In this sharing, we will look at the “story behind the story” and learn more about an authentic friendship with significant impact.

Invite a friend. All are welcome!
