This Month's Theme is Listening
This week's RE Newsletter is HERE!
The UU faith has at its foundation the belief that every single person is important, deserves kindness and respect and should be treated equally and justly.
And we continue the practice of listening by creating moments of pause and deep breath in our days. Plus, we are inviting you to reach out to the wider congregation this week and make a connection!

A Multigeneration Invitation to Connect in Love |
|
It’s no secret we miss each other. A LOT!
To deepen our connection while apart, we invite you to participate in LOVE LETTERS. It’s simple: write a letter, make a card, draw a picture - anything to show someone that you are sending them some love! You don’t know who will get your letter or who you’ll receive a letter back from — that’s a surprise. We hope those of all ages - from our littles to our elders - will join us in this effort to share our love.
Leave your love note in the slotted box — which will be sitting outside the UUCSC main door -- between Friday, October 16 and Sunday, October 18. Anyone who leaves a letter will receive one back during the week of Oct 19.
- With love, Rev. DL and Lee Cowan, DRE

In the 19th century, Frederick Douglass, the great abolitionist, was the most famous Black man in America. Few know that he had a deep and abiding relationship with Rhode Island. READ MORE about him, as Robb Dimmick shares some important history in the MY TURN column of the October 3 edition of the Providence Journal.

Do you have a laptop (that still works) that you no longer need? Students in the Providence area are in need of laptops in order to take part in their education. Betsy Dalton is working with a non-profit agency in Providence that takes older (but not ancient) laptops and converts them to "Chrome books" by wiping out all stored files and making the laptops internet-accessible. She will pick up any available laptops and will deliver them to the agency.
Call Betsy at 401-529-8733 (you can leave a message, too) or email her at elizabethmdalton@gmail.com if you want to donate your no longer used laptop! The students thank you!
