Sunday, October 12, 10:30 am Lynne Bonner, Homilist Karen Christie, Worship Associate Change can be hard, yet that may be what’s needed for personal growth.  And yet acknowledging the traits that are part of our nature – i.e., learning to accept who we are — is also a part of personal growth.  It can be difficult to see which direction we need to pursue and it may take time to discern (sometimes years!). As Unitarian Universalists we strive to improve ourselves, to nurture spiritual growth.  As UUs we also strive for acceptance, for understanding our own nature.  So how do we navigate the seeming diametric choice between change and acceptance to find a better path forward? Lynne Bonner is a member of this UU community, an occasional worship associate and a member of the UUCV Board liaising with the Spiritual Development Council.  With a background in biology and natural systems, she is curious about human nature, about the interaction between our biological and our spiritual selves and is always up for delving into the big questions of “life, the universe and everything.”
