Sunday Worship: “Moral Courage in Uncertain Times”

Sancturary and Livestream on our Website 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA

Worship Leader: Grace Garner
Worship Associate: Denise Janssen Eager

How do we act as leaders and allies in the fight for justice in a world that is pushing us further and further apart? When is it our duty to be bold and when do we know to step back and listen? We learn from Palm Springs Councilmember Grace Garner about how being raised at UU Fellowship of the Desert (later UUCOD) taught her how to use her position to respect, protect, and speak out for justice even when it isn’t easy.

Formula on the Fourth

Introduced by the Social Justice Committee in January 2023. Donate formula, which will be given to Galilee Center for distribution to their families with babies.

Why donate formula rather than money? Due to shortages, stores have been setting tight limits on the number of cans per purchase. Our donations help Galilee Center hand out more formula each month to families with babies who are unable to buy it on their own.
