Kit Ketcham is the minister for PUUF.
The service will be led by Rev. Ketcham. “The Evolution of Spiritual Experience” Research into the nature of spiritual experience has revealed that our spiritual lives evolve out of our emotional responses, both positive and negative. Rev. Kit Ketcham will speak about the foundations of human spirituality: love, joy, pain, fear, and more. Frank Logan will be our service leader. The monthly potluck at the Masonic Temple across the street will follow the service.
