Ours is the only faith I’ve ever known, embraced or wanted.  After my husband died Gerry Shehan offered to rent me a house he owned in Sherman.  I’m glad I said yes.  I co-founded our lay-led congregation 21 years ago and am happy to be living so close.  While I grew up in one of the largest UU congregations, our tiny group of fiercely independent thinkers and doers is more personal and is a mainstay in my life.  It nurtures my soul and reminds me that diversity, not hate, brings people together.

 

I moved here after my husband & son died, chose Helen Schulze, MD from the phone book & fell apart in her office. My former church was no longer a fit & she recommended Red River UU.  I’d never heard of it but knew this was what I needed from the first day. I did a lot of research for Adult Forum & RE and the more I learned the better I liked it.

40 intellectually stimulating years as liberal educators in Montana, Gil and I retired and returned to our roots and found it difficult to find friends with common interests. The Hills invited us to Red River observing that we might be Unitarian and not know it. We fit. Red River had something to offer us and we had something to offer in return. We finally found community in this area.
