This Sunday, for Earth Day, we were joined by guests from Citizens Climate Lobby. Many of us seek to support "the interdependent web" of life on Earth in our own ways. As concerned and active citizens, what can we bring into being? Citizens Climate Lobby and other civic organizations allow people to come together, enabling the emergence of personal and political power and confidence. While individual decisions like recycling and energy efficiency are important, the call of the Earth asks more of us; we can join our voices together to push for greater changes that help care for the web of life --- and for ourselves and our neighbors and our places in it.
Next Sunday, April 29th:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"Martin Luther King, Jr," Bob Boldt
Bob Boldt shares firsthand experience with the lauded civil rights leader.
Service and Religious Education - 10:30 am
Message: “Those Who Went Before – And Persevered”
(Rescheduled from February due to weather)
Any time of year is a good time for reflecting on History and to learn more about our foremothers and forefathers, many of whom faced adversities. Our UUFJC Worship Committee will share vital and inspiring information about some of the notable persons from the past, including how, through their perseverance, they contributed toward shaping and molding the world we live in today.
If you have a joy or concern that you would like to have read during the Service, please submit it by noon on Friday through our website: http://uufjc.org/joys--concerns.html
Plus Children's RE --- "Emergence into Wholeness - Celebrating Diversity"
Potluck Lunch after service --- please bring a favorite dish!
