"Until Love Wins"
Today’s challenging times require a nimble and resilient spirituality. We need a demanding, inspiring faith and a love strong enough that it will not let us go. Join us as we draw the circle wide, gather our strength, and promise to stay in the struggle and joy until love wins.
First Universalist has been a model of shared ministry and what it means to put the work of dismantling white supremacy and building anti-racist, anti-oppressive practices at the center of their ministry. They have been on the front lines in support of the Movement for Black Lives in Minneapolis, bringing spiritual care and moral leadership in the wake of George Floyd’s murder by police and the important uprisings for justice that followed. Children and families are a vital part of their ministry, and they have been using creative approaches to engage all ages in worship during the pandemic. Their leadership exemplifies some of the best practices for the creativity, spiritual depth, and moral leadership that is possible when we embrace the work of shared ministry rooted in love and justice.
Presenters: musicians, Franco Holder, Aimee K. Bryant, and Dr. Randal Buikema; religious professionals, Lauren Wyeth and Julica Hermann de la Fuente; Rev. Arif Mamdani, Rev. Karen Hutt, and Rev. Jen Crow
FUUSB Summer Break: July 5-18
Rev. Patricia Hart, Developmental Senior Minister
As a much-needed break for the FUUSB staff, the congregation will be "closed" from July 5 through July 18. Instead of online services for two Sundays, July 11 and 18, we are encouraging everyone to take a virtual "tour" of online services from UU congregations around the country, or to watch (or revisit) an FUUSB service or two from the past year on our YouTube channel.
Let us know your suggestions for UU congregations to "visit" and we'll include them in the list in next week's eNews. Suggestions may be sent to [email protected].
Summer eNews Schedule
Mary Williams, Society Administrator
During FUUSB's July 5-18 summer break, the eNews will be on hiatus. There will be no eNews on July 8 or 15. Beginning July 22, we will be back to the weekly publication schedule.
