Sunday services at the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood during the month of May will focus on insights and themes in dialogue with SciFi and Fantasy. The minister of the congregation, Rev. Sarah Lenzi says, “It is going to be fun, and joyful, and hopefully a bit silly at times. I am very excited about it!”
Each week’s service on Zoom at 10 AM will consider different writers/works and themes:
May 2 -- “His Dark Materials,” by Philip Pullman (in conversation with C.S. Lewis); theology and god. Fantasy.
