"Wisdom in Today's World"
What is wisdom? How does it differ from knowledge? Is the difference worth discerning? This sermon will explore the landscape of the difference between knowledge and wisdom and how the difference plays out in our modern world. "
True wisdom comes in understanding that sometimes, you are both the prison and the key."
--Johnathan Jena

Zoom Links on Compass Only
Please note that because of the concern of “Zoom Bombers” the links and passwords of all Zoom Gatherings besides worship will be listed on Compass only. If you know anyone who isn’t getting Compass, you can direct them to the website to fill in their email to receive it. If they have done that and are still having problems receiving it, they can email
Compass@phoenixuu.org
to get the email sent to them.
Zoom Support
We have a Zoom support team to help members who are having problems with Zoom. The email address to request help is:
uucpzoomsupport@phoenixuu.org
. Send an email to this address stating your problem with what kind of device you have (i.e. what kind of smart phone, PC or Mac or Tablet). Include your name, phone number and email address. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
There have been several changes to the procedures for Zoom in the past week so this process is evolving. We will try to keep up with what is needed as it changes.

Benjie Messer at

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
minister@phoenixuu.org
. She will be working with the staff to come up with a more complete program.

Civic Engagement Update
3 Suggested Actions this Week, Related to COVID-19
- Call Gov. Ducey (602-542-4331) and David Shinn, Dept of Corrections director (602-542-5225) to urge them to release non-violent inmates. More info and suggested wording here from our partner, Abolish Private Prisons.
- Contact your THREE AZ reps (find your district and get contact info here) to urge them to take two important steps:
- Allow citizens to sign ballot initiative petitions online, as they already do for candidate petitions. More information here.
- Adopt universal vote by mail NOW for August and November elections (and beyond) so people do not have to risk their lives to vote in person. More information here.

Sharing Your CARES Funds
We have had several inquiries about people donating their $1200 checks from the government. If you are lucky enough not to need your check, we are creating ways that you can donate it to UUCP -- to the Ministerial Discretionary Fund to support those in our congregation who are struggling financially or to community partners who are struggling at this time. Please contact
minister@phoenixuu.org
if you would like to share your funds, and thank you.
