Wow!! Beautiful! Thank you so much!
It looks incredible!
1.) Did not get to make in to First UU OKC @firstunitarianokc.bsky.social this morning, but I enjoyed listening to their message on YouTube. Now that Lulu and I have been there a few times, it does not seem like a strange place I'm seeing on a cam.
Today we’re talking about mindful love and how to apply mindfulness internally and externally. With activities post service to engage in some mindful civic action!
Check out the service online at www.youtube.com/live/x7Akj0e... or join us in person at 11am central!
Unitarian Universalism is a religion based on shared values, not required beliefs. We span a diverse variety of beliefs, practices, cultures, and abilities! Rev. Johnstone's sermon in OKC is a great UU primer! Service starts at 32:50, sermon starts at 1:04:00 #okc #uu

Since it’s Holiday Spirit Sunday….what’s a song/carol that gets you in that holiday spirit?
I’ll start with what I’m listening to now to get ready for worship - All I Want for Christmas by Mariah Carey!

Join in some carols, hear some readings, and decorate at home (or if not at home, contemplate your decorating scheme!)

Once a month or so we have a community board game and potluck night.
That was tonight. Had about 35 folks tonight - halfish kids, halfish adults.
Heres a picture of us playing Wingspan! Not only a great game, a game created by a UU. Check out the most recent UU World for an article!

Well - we lost to a sex educating drag queen. And we’re perfectly happy with that :D. Honored to be a finalist, and they said such nice things about our church’s history of queer activism in OKC!
It’s the First Unitarian OKC crew here at the Oklahoma Rainbow Awards Gayla!
Ironic my face is coated in blue light posting on Bluesky :D
Forgive the bad photo. There’s a reason someone else does our church Instagram account :D

This month we've been talking about #transformation in the RE program.
Transformation is one our #UU #values that the association adopted over the summer. (We've learned talking "Article 2" is boring, talking "values" is neat.)
What needs to transform in your life for you to be more fully you?
I don't think we've come to a consensus yet as a faith movement on whether decaf coffee has internet worth or not yet.
