Fellowship member Kelsey Rochefort will meet with members of Congress in Washington, D.C., next month during the National Kidney Summit to support legislation related to kidney healt. She’ll talk to us about her own journey from kidney failure, through dialysis, to a kidney transplant.

The service begins at 11 a.m., but join us early for coffee and conversation.

Visitors are always welcome at our progressive Fellowship. In addition to a talk—by a Fellowship member or a guest speaker—services include music, readings, meditation and optional opportunities to share your thoughts.

Kelsey is an advocate with the National Kidney Foundation. She’s also a military spouse, a mother, a Girl Scout Troop Leader, a mem ber of the Junior League of Columbus, and a violinist with the Columbus Community Orchestra.

Unitarian Universalism is an unusual religion. For example, we don’t share a creed. Our members Christians, Jews, Buddhists, subscribers to earth-centered traditions, and members of other religions. We also include humanists, agnostics, atheists and people who resist labels. What we do share is a commitment to the Seven Principles of UU. These principles include respect for all people and for the planet, and a promise to support each other in our own free and responsible searches for truth and meaning. If you’ve had doubts about other organized religions, you might find a home here. (Full disclosure: we’re not that organized.)
