March  7 – Catherine AzoraMinda – International Women’s Day
 This celebratory service features the words, music and lives of UU women. 

14 –  Rev. John  “Patrick the Snake Charmer” One of the reasons that
St. Patrick is so famous is because it is believed that he drove the snakes out of Ireland. The snake was associated with the early Pagan faiths of Ireland, especially Celtic goddess worship. Even though it is reported that there are no more snakes in Ireland, the goddess lives!

 21  – Rev. John “Spring Ahead” – The season of spring is often used as a metaphor for change and new growth. How does this metaphor speak to us in our spiritually collective lives here at UUSG?
