“From the Greek word selig (which means blessed) comes the English word silly. I like to think that there is something sacred about the ability to be silly – to play – to laugh and be child-like.” – June Mack Maffin
Join us for Worship:
This Sunday, Cricket Hall will present a service about Play as a spiritual practice.
We are excited to be returning to in-person meetings on May 23 after meeting virtually since March 2020. We are experimenting with a simultaneous Zoomof the service.. If you would like to participate by Zoom, please email westforkuu@gmail.com for details and a link.
Our services are Sundays at 11 a.m. at the Progressive Women’s Association Event Center, 305 Washington Ave. in downtown Clarksburg, behind the Courthouse. There are classes for children and adults 10 to 10:45 am, and a coffee gathering before the service. More about us.
We would love to have you come worship with us.
Children are welcome. There is childcare and an activity for young children during the service.
The building is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible restroom.

UU Lent 2020 – Day 11 – Play
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” – Mr. Fred Rogers
UU Lent 2019 – Day 19 – Play
“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
― Fred Rogers
In her reflection, “Go Play“, Rev. Marisol Caballero discusses why we should play and how it can break down stereotypes.
Why we should play?
“What’s amazing is how evolution—which is as practical and ruthless as you can get—seems to love playfulness.
It’s because play develops your mind and keeps it sharp.”

For me play was something I wasn’t really good at, but I have learned that that is the point. It is just for fun and there is no “good at it”. So, get out there and play!
