We learn in grade school of the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. And much of our culture is dedicated to that pursuit; thousands of self-help books have been written on the subject. But happiness remains elusive. It doesn’t seem to be where we expect to find it. What is happiness? What does it mean to pursue it? Where and how can it be found? (Worship Associates will be dedicated during the 11:00 a.m. service)

Dave Hudson and his wife, Kate, have been members and active leaders of the UU congregation in Roswell, Georgia (just north of Atlanta) since 2001, having found Unitarian Universalism in Geneva, Illinois in 1981. They have three sons, all of whom live in Northern California. Dave speaks frequently in his own congregation and occasionally at other UU churches in Georgia and South Carolina. His father was a liberal Methodist minister and social activist; his mother’s father was a professor at Boston University School of Theology; but he learned the art and craft of sermon writing from his mentor, the Rev. Greg Ward.
