Which came first, 20 years ago, being a Unitarian Universalist fellowship or being a community? This service is the story of what happened when a small group of UU’s in a small town in Mexico met to share a vision.

Six people met in February of 2006, and came out of that meeting with a clear decision and direction. Their purpose, their mission, was to form a Unitarian Universalist spiritual fellowship based on their shared experience of what that meant.

Trudy Crippen and Mardele and Fred Harland were three of the founders who will share their journey, beginning in the early years, and touching on milestones along the way, as well as their hopes for the future. Others who were there in that first year will also be recognized.
