Minister’s Message

Bread not Stone: Pondering the Principles

Hello friends,

It is such a full time for us in our congregation. We’re kicking off our pledge drive to plan for next year’s budget. We’re working to create new possibilities for moving from contract ministry to settled ministry. We are beginning to read and explore Mistakes and Miracles together as a congregational read.

Black History Month

Black History Month

February was established as Black history month in 1976.

Each year a theme is chosen for Black History Month. This year, 2023, the Theme is Black Resistance. This is a time for us to remember those who have fought for equal rights for African Americans. As result of resistance slavery was abolished, separate but equal was dismantled, and voting rights were granted. Equality in sports, the military, education, and the work force have improved. However, as we are aware there is still much work to be done.

Mistakes and Miracles:  Congregations on the Road to Multiculturalism

What calls Unitarian Universalists to create multicultural, antiracist Beloved Community? What do congregations need when they embark on this journey? What common threads run through their stories?

We’re inviting all of us to read this book which shares the stories of five UU congregations and their journey toward building the beloved community. We’ll have opportunities for individual and collective thinking, conversation, and reflection as we think about our own journey as a congregation.
