Worship Service: Fierce Loving in Fearsome Times

Rev. Joel Miller

Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 10:15am

I find myself constantly outraged by the divisiveness undermining our country. And then, not wanting to succumb to the calls for fear and hate, I find myself turning again and again to the wisdom of our spiritual ancestors. I am just coming to revere some of those ancestors and there are those ancestors who, even in their flaws, again inspire me to live in love.

Social Justice Action Presentation: Reduce Prison Recidivism Through Education - 12-1:30pm, Alliance Room

Everyone is invited for our monthly free lunch after coffee hour in the Alliance Room. Arthur Bembury, Executive Director - Partakers, will speak about his experiences supporting hundreds of prisoners to get a college education to improve their opportunities of success after leaving prison. Partakers has helped people get B.U. degrees while they are behind bars. Partakers is supported by an extraordinary and growing group of over 400 volunteer mentors. Their mentors dedicate their time and hearts to their students, often over a period of years. FUUSN in the past has had many volunteers meet monthly with prisoners to encourage them as they work for their degrees. Come hear about the exciting work of this organization.
