WELCOME

UU Friend

We hope you join us this Sunday as RE and the Worship Committee put together a service on 'Gratitude'. We spent the last 5 weeks building our Sabbath Spaces and expanding on what we can do within a family worship at home.

There are many ways to learn to appreciate the existence of each other. One way to experience this appreciation is through: gratitude.

Don't miss our next E-vent: Cooking from Diverse Cultures, hosted by John Motter.

July 21, 2020, 8pm : John will invite you, virtually, to his kitchen where he will share some of his experiences in Rwanda and the larger region. From the majesty of Silverbacks to the horror of genocide, learn from John’s personal experiences and insights. Make the dish, talk about the culture.

July 12th Lesson

Join Us this Sunday as RE and the worship committee works together in presenting

“Gratitude and what that means to each of us.”

This is also a showcase service to acknowledge those who have volunteered their time and energy to the functionality of our Unitarian Universalist Church of St. Petersburg. Without the grace of our combined effort of volunteer support, our church would not thrive! Therefore, we Thank you.

Enjoy seeing a few of our RE youth present

what does it mean to be grateful and what does gratitude mean to them.

Last week, some special certificates went out to our youth to acknowledge their perseverance during these uncertain times. Children and youth often need to be told and reminded that they are doing great to keep their morals high. Keep their confidence up parents! We know it is hard but keep them motivated. Remind them of the talents that they have and assist them in expanding in what they know. Your role as their provider is of the utmost importance.

"Let me recommend to you the appointment of envoys in UU churches... to promote better knowledge and understanding of the United Nations. In this disastrous and shrinking world it is no longer possible—if it ever was—for local communities to be more secure than the surrounding world. Our ultimate security therefore lies in making the world more and more into a community.... All of you have the opportunity to share in the answer, and thus help us build a peaceful world."

—Adlai Stevenson source

Hey Parents!

"Through our mental health work, we have been connected with the Pinellas Behavioral Health System of Care--a group of over 40 mental health providers that are working together to get a central pathway for services up and running. This group is working with JWB on a Children's Mental Health Initiative. They want feedback from youth (they mentioned 10-18 years old) on what they need and what they would find helpful. This feedback will help inform the community leaders driving the Children's Mental Health Initiative. They've created a survey that takes about 10 minutes, here's the link .

If you have questions you can contact Rebecca Albert, Strategic Initiatives Manager at JWB (727-453-5657).
