‘Anybody Here Seen My Old
Friend Abraham?’ at FUUF
On Sunday, Feb. 11, at the
Florence Unitarian Univers-
alist Fellowship, the Rev. Dr.
Ruth Miller will lead the
worship
service
titled,
“Anybody Here Seen My Old
Friend Abraham?”
“On Monday, Feb. 12,
America celebrates the birth
and life of one of America’s
great leaders — a pacifist
who was forced to fight an
impossible war; husband of a
slaveholder who championed
emancipation;
mournful
mystic who foresaw his own
death,” Miller said. “He grew
up in and honored a faith tra-
dition that was begun by the
man he was named after.”
Miller will explore some
remarkable links in the two
lives.
The meeting will be from
10 to 11 a.m.
FUUF is located at 87738
Highway 101, at Heceta
Beach Road, and is wheel-
chair accessible. Each serv-
ice concludes with refresh-
ments and a dialogue circle
to explore the questions that
come up during each worship
service.
