“As a lay-led spiritual community, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Bay County relies heavily on local speakers to share compassionate, thoughtful, and inspiring messages on a variety of topics. We have often turned to our friend, Michael Lister, to fill this role for our Sunday morning services. Whether given a specific topic or compelled by an inspiration of his own, we can count on Michael to share a message that exposes the power of our humanity to face the challenges in our lives, rejoice in the beauty of the world, or love unconditionally. Michael is a celebrated speaker at the UUFBC and a welcomed friend.” — Charissa Thacker
