But Curiosity hasn’t been happy with that. She begs to differ, would like to set the record straight, and is ready to speak out. Come hear from her for yourself as she makes her first public appearance in a string of scheduled stops on that tour at the UU Fellowship this Sunday. Worship leaders this week are Sharon Arpoika, Rev. Erin Matteson, and Jorge Torrez.

Worship leaders this week are Haruko DeArth, Jorge Torrez, and guest speaker Janet Moncrief.
