Don't forget the coffee!

I don't know enough about UU yet, but I can feel the pull of a magnet. And yes, I count myself as a friend of UUs.
What inspired me? The sight of a beautiful little robin, drinking out of the bird bath in our back garden.
I am easily satisfied!

UU hymn:

"Enter, rejoice and come in!
Enter, rejoice and come in!
Today will be joyful day!
Enter, rejoice and come in!"

There's more verses, but I don't remember them. I try to sing or hum this song to myself when I'm having a bad day and it helps my mood improve.

I am probably going to my first service at a UU church in San Diego this weekend.

Reminds me of a song that we sing:

Why don't you
c'mon into this house?
Why don't you
c'mon into this house?
Why don't you
c'mon into this house?
C'mon in this house and rejoice!
(and rejoice)

We're gonna sing for justice;
c'mon into this house!
We're gonna sing for justice;
c'mon into this house!
We're gonna sing for justice;
c'mon into this house!
C'mon in this house and rejoice!
(and rejoice)

All souls are welcome;
c'mon into this house!
etc....

We've changed the lyrics to fit the occasion. It's a very happy song.

I hope it will be a good experience.

If not, remember that UU churches are congregational, meaning that they very widely from church to church. If you aren't impressed with the first one, you may still love the next one. That's what happened for me.
