Sunday Worship: Woven in a Single Garment of Destiny

Hybrid: Online and In-Person 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA, United States

Worship Leaders: Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Worship Associate: Rev. Ian W. Riddell

Join us as we share this recorded service from UUA president, Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray. We're all connected: an interdependent whole. Therefore, says Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, "covenant is our religious response to our fundamental interdependence." We make promises about how to be together, and how to be in the world. We also fall short of honoring those promises, inviting us to repair and strengthen the strands of community. The choice to mend broken strands of the web is an act of faithfulness.

The key message is to re-asses our assumptions about others as they deal with issues, such as conflict, in ways we might as individuals or a culture, judge, then dismiss, rather than try to understand as a way to open dialogue and gain understanding and compassion.

Sunday Worship: How to be an Anti-Racist Congregation

In the past several years, Black writers such as Ibram Kendi, Ijeoma Oluo, and Adrienne Maree Brown have given us valuable advice on becoming actively anti-racist in our personal lives and our communities. As Unitarian Universalists continue to deepen their commitments, and their actions, toward a more just and equitable world, Jen Simon reflects on some necessary conditions UU congregations need to nurture in order to do this work in community.

Webinar: Supporting Neurodivergence in Our Congregations

Zoom

Neurodivergence is a large category for all the ways people’s brains can be different from “typical”. That includes autism, sensory sensitivity, long covid, C-PTSD, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and more.

Adopting the 8th principle was the beginning of our journey towards spiritual wholeness and our work to dismantle racism and all forms of oppression. Examining our abelist biases is another facet of our anti-oppression work.
