Online Sunday Service: New Ways to Hug

Michelangelo said “To touch can give life.” Research has shown this is literally true by documenting the positive benefits of touch on our health and well being. We will share ideas for achieving meaningful connections in our new “hug deprived” reality. Contact service leader Laura Gossman if you have ideas to share!

The UU congregations in Laramie and Casper are collaborating on Sunday services. Click on “Attend an Online Service” on the uucasper.org main menu for information about how to join the service on Zoom. Everyone is welcome! See you Sunday!
