Our March newsletter is still in the works. Digital copies will be sent to this mailing list when it is ready
Note: we are having a work day at our building this Saturday, March 2nd, starting at 8 am, with the goal of returning to services there on Sunday, March 3rd! The more helpers we have, the faster and easier it will be. Tasks will be available for people of all physical abilities, so please come join us! More information below.
Yesterday morning, ministerial candidate Sabrina Trupia joined us to wrap up our month of reflections on Justice and Equity with a powerful look at some radical visions of justice in our UU faith's roots. For many of us, our understandings of justice draw us to work against some loud Christian voices, but the Christian faith is one of the sources of our UU faith, and Sabrina emphasized that we must not cede "Christian values" to those loud voices of today. Christian values are also part of our heritage, and they led some of our Unitarian forebears --- as abolitionists opposing slavery --- to quite literally fight for a radical vision of justice. Today, we can pray that such a literal fight will not be necessary, but we can hold in our hearts that our values have deep roots and are worth fighting for.

This Saturday, March 2nd starting at 8 am, we are having a work day at our building. Our president, Rich Burdge, writes: "Construction on our building is still progressing. Kevin Landrum has completed installation of flooring in the front half of the building, as well as the front restroom vanity. Contractors have done more work painting the back half, and installed the front restroom toilet. They have still not installed lighting in the sanctuary area. We hope that they will do this this week or next, but whether they do or not, we will plan to have a workday on Saturday, March 2, with the goal of returning to services in our building on Sunday, March 3! There will be a lot to do as far as cleaning and organizing our space, but we have a plan that will allow us to make the most efficient use of our time. There will be jobs available for people of all physical abilities, so please be there at 8:00 am on the 2nd! The more people there are, the faster and easier it will go! Thanks to everyone for your support and patience during this entire process." Contact Rich with any questions.
And coming in four weeks, on Sunday, March 24th, we will hold our annual Election of Officers. Members, please plan to attend and cast your vote!
An independent Insight Meditation group taught by Joe McCormack meets at our building Thursday nights at 7 pm, when possible. Zoom may also be available. For more information, contact Bob Antweiler.
Our building (when available) is reserved by community groups Wednesdays and Saturdays starting at 6 pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 5:30 pm. If you have access to our building, please allow privacy at these times.
