Beloved community,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart in the wake of another violent tragedy, this time in our own backyard. If you have not yet heard, last night there was a mass shooting at Bite of Seattle that took the lives of multiple people and injured several others. Events like this can bring up a variety of feelings, and we want you to know that the UUC community is here to support you as you process and grieve. Our Care Team is available to listen and can be reached by emailing care@uuchurch.org or by calling (206) 454-7722. 

If you are a parent or caregiver seeking resources for talking with children about gun violence in age appropriate ways, I encourage you to check out this webpage, put together by the Unitarian Universalist Lifespan Faith Engagement Office.

Lean on each other and lean into community this week. The UUC staff are wrapping you in love and tenderness. 

In faith,

Morgan Sherwood

Congregational Engagement Coordinator
