Please join UUCP for today’s in-person and online service, “Inanna’s Descent: Love, Power, and “Trans” formation” led by Rev. Sonia Ketchian and Special Guest, Dr. Marysia Makowiecka at 10:30 a.m.

Join us for a Unitarian Universalist service with guest speaker Dr. Marysia Makowiecka as we explore Inanna’s Descent, one of the oldest surviving literary works. This powerful Mesopotamian myth follows Inanna, goddess of love, war, and justice, on her journey to the underworld—a tale of sacrifice, transformation, and resilience. Associated with transgender and non-binary identities, Inanna’s story offers timeless wisdom on navigating struggles and finding growth through life’s deepest trials.

We look forward to seeing you!
