CLICK HERE
for manual
. You will come to another page directing you to click the link, bringing you to the Realm log-in page. Though not exactly bedside reading, it’s a good time to catch up on campus safety!

Civic Engagement Announcements
- As you know, the UU the Vote campaign is advocating for universal vote by mail. For this to work (and for many other reasons), a fully-funded postal service is essential. Read more about efforts to undermine the postal service and support full funding by signing this online petition.
- See maps here showing how COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting the Navajo Nation. Go to https://www.protectthesacred.care/ to learn more and to find out how to be an ally to our Navajo brothers and sisters.

Looking for a way to support your UUCP community members who have been affected by COVID?
|
|
We are looking for people to make and store batches of soup that can be delivered to people that are sick and in isolation. If you would prefer not to deliver the soup, we will have people available to pick up the soup and deliver it when it is needed.

Worship Next Week 6/7/2020
"Yes, And"
Led By: Amy McKlindon
|
|
|
|
The first rule of improv - “yes, and” - requires comedians to accept what others put forward and build on it through their own contributions.
We’ll explore how this simple principle can create space for the dualities of life, leading to stronger relationships and deeper personal understanding.
|
|
How do UU Worship:
Since online worship is still new to us and those of us leading worship can’t see what you’re doing, would you be willing to answer six quick questions about how you worship online with us? It should take you about 30 seconds. Thank you.

From UUJAZ
(UU Justice Arizona):

Justice in the
Time of Pandemic
From the $11,000 of #ShareMyCheck funds raised in Prescott to be distributed to undocumented folks and mixed status families... to the trucks, SUVs, and vans full of supplies driven by UUs in Phoenix to the Black Mesa community on the Navajo Nation, UU's have been showing up and living our values during this pandemic! Have you taken action for justice in the past few months? Please take our
two-question
survey by June 13th. Links are also provided to participate now if you'd like... and then check your action off the list!
|
|
UUJAZ Book Group
Its more important than ever to stay justice centered in our faith, as decisions made now will affect climate justice and structural inequity for years to come. Join Rev. Tina Squire the third Friday of each month at noon for a book discussion.
June will feature On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal, just in time for author Naomi Klein's Ware Lecture at this year's GA.
|
|
|
|
In this time, please be courteous to the health and well being of Stephanie and Manuel, as they are the only two authorized to enter the Congregation at this time. If for any reason you need something from the building, please reach out to Rev. Christine Dance (
minister@pheonixuu.org
) and Stephanie Breidel-Vigil (
administrator@phoenixuu.org
) to make arrangements.

It's important for all of us in the UUCP community to stay connected. We encourage any group that was meeting at UUCP before the closures to consider meeting again virtually. Small groups are asked to set up regular Zoom meetings. Please contact our administrative assistant Stephanie at
administrator@phoenixuu.org
to schedule a room and a Zoom tutorial if you need it.
Do you have something that you’d like to lead on Zoom to help us stay connected? Please send your ideas to Reverend Christine at

We are always looking for new ways to connect as a community.
