Sunday morning, we continued exploring our monthly theme of Abundance with one way Unitarian Universalists work to spread abundance in the world. The UU Service Committee is an independent nonprofit organization that works with the UU Association to promote human rights and equity throughout the world. Supporting refugees, deportees, and communities affected by climate change, among many others, the UUSC partners with local self-advocacy organizations. This helps to respect the dignity and brilliance of affected people while also making the most of funding --- even small gifts can make a big difference! For much more information and stories of hope, visit uusc.org.
Today begins the annual "Guest At Your Table" donation drive to support UUSC. Contact our Treasurer, Bob Antweiler, for collection boxes, donation envelopes, and more ways to contribute.

Please remember, updates can be submitted to the administrator at any time.
Tomorrow, Monday, November 13th at 7 pm is the monthly UUFJC Lecture Series. This month’s topic: "Outsider Christmas," a Jewish Perspective by Warren Solomon of Temple Beth-El. He will share stories of growing up in a Jewish family with Christianity all around him. Warren is very respectful of non-Jewish religious traditions. He will provide a well-educated and inspiring approach. Contact Carol Bontempo or Frank Rycyk for more information.
