    <itunes:subtitle>Sermons and other audio from Northwoods UU </itunes:subtitle>
    <itunes:summary> Northwoods is a religious community where each person is encouraged to pursue his/her own spiritual journey. Some of our members refer to Northwoods as a "refuge of reason", and yet it is much more.  It is the place where we develop heartfelt connections with others in our religious community.  It is a touchstone that empowers us to go out into the greater community to serve those in need.  We are an institution of free religious thought in our community.  We provide space in our church for people from diverse backgrounds who wish to share our religious vision. </itunes:summary>
