The UUC Friends of UUSC will hold an open meeting in Bridges after the second service ends, Sunday, October 3.  As a national organization, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee works around the world to further social justice in terms of values that are generally held by members of our denomination.  
The Service Committee depends greatly on members of local denominations to inform church members, help raise memberships, and foster local justice efforts that tie into its work.  If you have questions before the meeting, contact Pete Guest.
