Spiritual Enrichment
May's theme is Story
|
In this TEDx presentation, a lovely Irishman tells stories from his life, all leading towards showing the power of story to bring people together and create peace.
Check out this Google Doc for May. We've compiled spiritual exercises, videos, music, movie, and book suggestions for our theme of Story.

Join us on Zoom for a two part conversation
Tuesdays, May 11th and 18th at 7pm
Our congregational history is so important and we want to record it! We invite you to join us on a Zoom call to swap stories! For our first call, we would love to record stories of the history of this congregation: where we've been, who's been part of it, funny situations, moving moments. And our second conversation will be to record individual stories that capture important moments in our lives. We look forward to cozy evenings of sharing memories.
Please email Lee at uucscdre2@gmail.com to participate

Our Values in Action--Follow-Up!
Last Sunday, April 25, 2021, UU’s from across the state gathered virtually to hear from local experts on some of the key bills in the General Assembly relating to Environmental Protection (including the Renew RI Coalition that our congregation just joined), Gun Violence, Racial Justice--from police violence to racial disparities in maternal mortality--and Voters’ Rights.
Now the real work begins. As these bills work their way through Committee hearings to floor votes, we need to make our voices heard. So the UULM-RI Committee has created a chart with information on the presenters, some of the key bills to support or oppose, and links for more information. Here’s the link. Feel free to share it with others who may be interested—and thanks for helping to bring change to our state!
