Rev. Dr. Nicole Kirk with Worship Associate Victoria Taylor, Clean Slate: During the latter half of September, Jews observed the High Holy Days including Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It is a period of introspection and reflection and asking for forgiveness. It is an important spiritual practice and one that is done in community. This Sunday, we will explore the themes of Yom Kippur and its power. UUC’s Choir will sing at the service.
