Rev. Mary Grigolia.

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Athens and Sheshequin is delighted to invite Rev. Mary Grigolia to the pulpit on April 15. She will be speaking on “Resurrection as a Spiritual Practice” at 10 a.m.

In the course of life, we each have to die to old ways of being in the world, to allow something wiser to emerge, welcoming us into a wider reality. They will explore the Christian story of the death and resurrection of Jesus as a parable for spiritual growth at the 10 a.m. service.

At 3 p.m., on the same day at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Towanda, Rev. Grigolia will preach on “Singing as Spiritual Practice”.

Many people feel awkward singing in public. Congregations are one of the only places we’re asked to sing together. So why do it? Rev. Mary Grigolia will explore the power of singing to open the heart, change the brain and create community.

Rev. Grigolia is a prolific singer-songwriter. She has published hundreds of songs, chants and rounds in eight songbooks and three recordings.

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Athens and Sheshequin is an intentionally inclusive congregation that welcomes people of all religious backgrounds, racial and cultural origins, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Its mission is to provide a forum for liberal religious expression in an atmosphere which encourages spiritual growth and ethical living.

Worship services are held each Sunday at 10 a.m. at 112 North St. in Athens, Pa. Child care and religious education classes are available for children and youth.
