July 30, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street  – “What’s So Bad About Being Woke”

In this video sermon from last January, “What’s So Bad About Being Woke?” the Rev. Bob LaVallee will speak about “Wokeness” which seems to be easily dismissed by some, but in an era of growing intolerance, holding to our progressive values is more important than ever.

Rev. Bob LaVallee is from Buffalo, NY and has lived in many different places. He was an artillery officer in the Marine Corps, served as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan, and trained as a chaplain at the VA in New York City. Prior to the ministry, he drove ice cream trucks, lead bike tours, managed a homeless shelter, and did a lot of nonprofit management. He was a founding member of the Buffalo, NY chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice. 

Rev. LaVallee attended Meadville Lombard Theological School and was ordained into Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in 2018. He has worked as a hospital chaplain in a substance abuse disorder ward, as well as an ICU, ER, and hospice. He served as Interim Minister at South Valley UU Society outside Salt Lake City, Utah.
