This morning, Rev. Mike joined us to begin exploring our September theme of "Renewal." Rev. Mike explained his message title "Always Keep a Diamond in Your Mind", a song by Solomon Burke, meaning to be able to renew ourselves from the inside out. He also shared many jewels from the book "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by the Zen master, Thich Nhat Hanh. The book emphasizes keeping one's consciousness alive to the present reality. Rev. Mike led us through a brief meditation, focused on breathing, explaining that breath is a bridge connecting our mind to reality. By looking in we also look outwards.
We now have UU-themed facemasks for sale in two designs:
UU Principles
Science is Real, Black Lives Matter, etc.
$10 each; proceeds support UUFJC. Contact Katherine Connor: [email protected]

"Where the Action Is," Katherine Connor
Love without justice is not love. Compassion without deeds is not compassion. Faith without action is not faith. And religion without politics is not religion. Katherine Connor will share and reflect on a reading from the UUA's Braver/Wiser resources: https://www.uua.org/braverwiser
