 grounded in love.
Our mission is to honor differences and to foster peace, justice, and sustainability in ourselves and in our world.
By exploring this website you can learn more about Unitarian Universalism and the ways in which our church expresses and practices UU principles and values. Our community engages in many activities and programs, for both adults and children, whose purpose ultimately is to “deepen the spirit and help heal the world.” Everyone has their own spiritual path in life and our church supports that journey by providing a community that is safe and open. We are a “free” church in that we do not tell people how to think or what to believe; rather, our church brings “individuals into a caring, trusting fellowship.” Moreover, Unitarian Universalism is a progressive, liberal faith that engages actively in peace and social justice work.
We invite you to attend a service, meet our minister, members and friends. We encourage you to ask questions, enroll in a class, and explore how we find meaning in our lives through Unitarian Universalism.

Potluck April 22nd!(3/30/2018)The fourth Sunday congregational potluck for April is April 22. We thought we would see spring signs at the end of March, but surely by April! Come join us and bring a dish to share. If you’re not in a space where you can bring a dish, just bring yourself. The amazing thing about potlucks is that there’s always plenty for all! Remember that the work of the potluck is shared among those attending, so help with setup and cleanup--many hands make light work!

The World’s Religions 10-week class
(3/5/2018) Adult Lifespan will be sponsoring a 10-week class on the Religions of the World, starting Thursday, March 15, from 9:30-11:30am in our Sanctuary. We will be reading Huston Smith’s classic work, The World’s Religions (updated edition printed in 1991). There are no costs other than the book itself. Nor are there any restrictions as to how many people can attend. And if you can only come to some classes and not others, that’s fine as well. Rev. Deane Perkins will be facilitating the class. If you have any questions, please get in touch with him. Meanwhile, if you’re interested, please read pages 1-41 of Huston Smith’s book for the first class.
“Soul Matters Packets” – What are they and what can they do for you?(1/12/2018) In a faith tied together by principles and choice not by doctrine and creed there are times to wonder what is it we share at our deepest level? In the Christian churches, often regardless of denomination, there is a shared liturgical calendar marking the rhythms of the year, the scriptures read and stories told. A Baptist in Ellsworth can attend a church in Belfast and know exactly what will be discussed and what readings they will hear. Perhaps that is a good thing or not, but it does bind together all of those who share that religious tradition. A bond of deepening and familiarity is possible among them. (more)

RE Parents and Friends Facebook PostsSt. Paul’s Lutheran Church Preschool and Kindergarten, in historic Lutherville, Maryland, has offered a nurturing, academically challenging program in a Christian environment for more than 50 years.
At our school, we believe every child is special and unique; every child is a gift from God to be loved, cherished, and adored. Our school admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin. Our program offers classes for 2s, 3s, 4s, and kindergarteners, with a variety of scheduling options (morning and afternoon), as well as enrichment classes, and an 8am to 6pm extended day program. It is our intention to provide an atmosphere of contentment in which each child can explore varied activities and make new discoveries. We are interested in each child’s total growth: social, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.
There is a growing need for a quality preschool/Kindergarten curriculum in today’s society.
The growing emphasis on learning basic skills and concepts at a young age point out the need for a comprehensive, well-structured preschool/Kindergarten program. We proudly offer this here at St. Paul's Lutheran Church Preschool and Kindergarten.
In our daily schedule, we include individual and group play. Individual and group activities are designed to teach children to work independently and with others. Through these activities the children will explore and expand their interests and express new thoughts and ideas. Students will develop feelings of security and success through positive classroom interactions.

You can create a separate Japanese account for the switch and purchase Japanese eshop cards on Play Asia.

It’s really easy! I bought a 50 dollar card and a 10 dollar one. I received the codes immediately and added the funds to my Japanese account. Then purchased with no issues.

As far as translation goes, I’ve been fine with google translate and I’ve been referring to the original games guide if anything has been confusing. Overall it’s just not complicated enough to make it difficult. It’s even better if you can read hiragana and katakana, but not essential.

I’m hopeful the English files already in the game mean there will be English available at some point, but even if there isn’t, I’m totally happy with it as is. Plus I can use it to practice my Japanese!The NYS Department of State’s Division of Consumer Protection (DCP) issued a warning on September 9, saying grandparents should be empowered “to outsmart scammers who prey on family bonds.” Scams that target older people often impersonate a loved one to trick the victim into sending the scammer money.
Did this fundraising scam swindle you on Erie Boulevard in East Syracuse?
Often, the scammer will impersonate a grandchild or other family member, saying they’re in an emergency and need cash. But sometimes, they may even impersonate a lawyer, police officer, or doctor calling on behalf of the grandchild.
The DCP said that scammers will claim to be in the hospital, jail, or stuck in a foreign country. Because they’re in an emergency, they’ll ask for money to be sent immediately.
Why are scams increasing in New York lately?
Don’t give out your address, personal information, or cash.
The DCP said that the number of grandparent scams has been growing in recent years. In 2021, the Federal Trade Commission received more than 12,700 complaints from people older than 60 about these types of scams, according to the DCP’s news release. These reports added to a total of $23.8 million in losses.Due to a scheduling conflict we are moving the meetups to Wednesdays... Hope to see you there.
