Welcome to University Unitarian Church
We are a welcoming community of unique individuals, coming together on our lifelong spiritual journeys and celebrating the diverse aspects of our free religious faith. We invite newcomers and visitors, members and friends to join with us as we seek truth with love and reason, and work toward a world that is just, compassionate, and beautifully sustained.
Taking Back the Economy
January 29th and February 4th, we will hold a series of events here at UUC to try to better understand and respond to the Great Economic Mess, and its various associated ills, (income and wealth inequality, unemployment, foreclosure, poverty, debt, broken tax systems, gridlocked democracy, public services under threat, workers under pressure...we all know the list). Here's what we are going to do:
On Sunday, January 29th, Rev. Jon Luopa will preach a sermon on this theme
Grab some lunch, and then come back at 1:00 p.m. that same day for a 90 minute Teach-In that will attempt to frame these complex issues, hopefully in a lively and engaging way. (We're aiming for This American Life, not a college Econ lecture!)
After a week to reflect, come back on Saturday, February 4th from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for an Action Lab where we will grapple together to take action. Lunch will be provided.Steps to the Summit: Year of Discernment Update
The planning team feels very honored and humbled by the openness and
participatory spirit the congregation has brought to the year of
discernment. The unanimous adoption of the mission and vision statements at the December 11th congregational meeting is a huge
milestone in this process, and opens the door to the next steps of the
process: proposing goals to support the mission and vision and the
preparation of our final report to the Board of Trustees.
As you may recall, we started the year by discerning three driving questions we hoped a clarified mission and vision would help us address. These include asking how we would change the lives of people who join with us, how we saw our role in the community and the world, and how to make room for more people. As we craft goals to make manifest our vision, we must ensure these questions are addressed.
