For some, the holidays are full of joy and magic, but for others the holidays are full of unrealistic expectations, difficult family dynamics and lonliness. In a year when that may be true for more people, we will hold space for the complexities of the season.

Our Video Choir is recording Jingle Bells for the Christmas Eve service, and wants you to join us!
1. Record on your own
-
On a computer, open the guide video at https://youtu.be/dMCt_-ku1Rk
- Plug headphones or earbuds into the computer.
- Start recording a video of yourself with a smartphone in the camera app, or have someone else do it. Turn the phone on its side so that the video is horizontal.
- Play the guide video, clap and sing along!
-
Send us your video by Tues. Dec. 15 by clicking on https://www.dropbox.com/request/poU4gNCfbJ97wrjdLJag
2. Record with Benjie in Zoom (this is lower-quality, but maybe easier)
-
this Monday at 5:30pm, join Zoom meeting https://zoom.us/j/96598194845
- Benjie will guide you through the steps above, and will do the recording through Zoom
- you will still need headphones or earbuds that fit your device

Adventure Tales
A Radically Inclusive Evening of Storytelling
|
|
We are holding a fundraiser on January 30, 7:00 P.M. on Zoom. This is an event where we want you to submit a video of yourself telling a personal story. The Storytelling Workshop last Wednesday was very informative, and it is not too late to jump on board the storytelling wagon. Sign up for the next storytelling workshop on Saturday, December 12, at 11:00 am. Attending the workshop is not a commitment to tell a story; however, for this to be a successful fundraiser, we need your story. It is a great way to have fun, get to know each other better, and make some money for UUCP while doing it!

Our Baha’i Youth Project friends continue to distribute blankets and quilts up north, and along with the wood they have cut and distributed to families, homes and bodies are warmer! Thank you to all who have helped with this project – your generosity is so appreciated.
With the holidays approaching, continued isolation due to COVID lockdown, and supplies running short, we will make another delivery of groceries, cleaning items, and health supplies the week of December 14th. Please consider making a donation for purchasing items or shopping from a prepared list. Use this link to sign up – and thank you for being part of this effort of caring and friendship for our Navajo neighbors.

Civic Engagement Announcements |
|
• Speaking of state politics, we have confirmed a date for a Zoom session to train you to use the Request to Speak (RTS) system. RTS is unique to Arizona. It allows citizens who register for it to weigh in on each bill before the Legislature. The more people that participate, the more powerful this system is. We hope you can join us on Friday, December 18 at 3:00 pm for training or review. Email at civicengagement@phoenixuu.org to sign up to attend.

Earth Justice Ministry Announcements |
|
Earth Justice Ministry invites you to join us at a new time, 1:30 pm. this Sunday, 12/13/2020. We will meet later to allow people to comfortably enjoy Coffee Hour and a meal before our meeting begins. This month we will be talking about the Sierra Club's plans for Environment Day at the Legislature which will take place virtually on Wednesday, February 3, 2021. We're also still collecting recipes for an online vegan cookbook to help members eat less meat, as pollution by methane of meat production is equal to or greater than that produced by transportation. Look for our bi-weekly column on that.
