Worship Service

“Go Down Moses” with guest speaker Rev. Anthony Jenkins. Music by Jaime Ramirez and our First UU Choir.

In the spirit of both Black History Month and Women’s History Month, UU Military Chaplain Anthony Jenkins will lead a service exploring the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman. Together we’ll consider the many lives that were entrusted to her care over the years as abolitionist, activist, faith leader, freedom-fighter, and U.S. Army Special Forces (‘Black Ops’).
