As we move into the next presidential chapter of the American story, let’s ground ourselves in our UU values of Justice and Equity. We’ve said that every human being has inherent worthiness and dignity. We have declared that every person has the right to flourish. How do we work to bring this about?
9:15 AM: An In-Person, All-Ages Service
Led by Rev. Kristina and DRE Colleen Thoele.
10:00 AM: Lifespan Religious Exploration
Religious exploration for our children and youth in classrooms.
This is an opportunity for members, friends, and visitors to reflect and share on wondering questions based on the day’s sermon topic. Everyone (including first-time visitors) is welcome to drop in and join us in Hobbs Hall for this small group connection time.
This Week’s Wondering Questions:
Our UU Values commit us to dismantle racism and other oppressions, and to work towards the Beloved Community where all people can thrive. What’s one thing you would like to do, learn, or contribute to this year to live into our value of Justice?
Each of us has some identities that lend us privilege–through our racial, cultural, educational, economic, gender, sexual orientation, or health status. And some of us have identities that can marginalize us, or even put us in danger. What’s one identity you hold that could help you protect others? What’s one way you might speak up or act up on behalf of the vulnerable in the coming days?

On the eve of the presidential inauguration and the holiday honoring the Rev Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we reflect on the historical ups and downs in the long arc towards racial justice in the U.S. We take the long view looking towards the future, always keeping love at the center.
