Agnostic Front “The Rabbit Hole is Infinite”
Sunday Services Team
Much religious discussion focuses on the belief or disbelief in God or a higher power. Today, we shine the spotlight on "I don't know" the standpoint of Agnosticism.

The Share the Plate recipient for July will be Northside Common Ministries. "At Northside Common Ministries, we are committed to building those bridges that connect our neighbors in need to an improved quality of life, while tearing down the walls that keep the hungry and homeless from success." NCM's work is supported by over 60 church congregations, including UUCNH, that provide dinners for the Pleasant Valley Men's Shelter. This year, UUCNH is providing dinners in April, July, and September.
