Wow!! Beautiful! Thank you so much!
Lulu and I have been really enjoying our time at @firstunitarianokc.bsky.social First UU in Oklahoma City. Here is a wahoo board we just finished to donate to the church. I am sad we missed their last game night.

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.

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

We’re here for the 77th annual #okc Interfaith Thanksgiving Interfaith Service!
Now in its 77th year, Oklahoma City’s longest running interfaith worship began as a combined experience between Temple B’Nai Israel, Pilgrim Congregational Church, and First Unitarian Church.
That’s….a long time!

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!

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.
True tales from the coffee maker: our church no longer serves decaf after service because we threw away one too many untouched percolators of it a number of years ago. Waste not, even when it comes to banished decaf.
