Part of creating the Beloved Community is making sure everyone is listened to and included. This week we talk to a new puppet friend, Sharky, about what happens when he disagrees with someone and how he calms down and works things out! Plus, check out the newsletter for artwork from our CartUUns class!

Theme for February: Beloved Community |
|
The theme of Beloved Community is such an important one. It's about building a better world, actively dismantling racism, not turning away when things get hard or when we disagree. It's about trusting that you'll be there for me when I fall, and showing you that I'll be there for you if you take a misstep.

Multigenerational Project for February |

UUCSC Flurry of Love
Everyone enjoys a piece of real mail from a real person they know, and valentines are especially cherished. Our Multigen Project for the month of February encourages you to connect by sending a surprise valentine to someone from the congregation by snail mail. You may sign your name or be anonymous, and include the phrase UUCSC Flurry of Love somewhere on the card. See the DIRECTORY for addresses and choose one or more people to send to. This would be a good time to check and make sure your address in the directory is accurate. Folks are not expected to respond, so this will be a one-way flurry of love!
Love is the spirit of this congregation

To say that this is AMAZING is an understatement. It IS an insight into our collective generosity and into the commitment we share as a Congregation to continue to be a liberal voice in South County. Consider also, that this has been accomplished during Covid worries and the closure of our building!
