A Celebration of Unions and Labor   	-Rev. K. Hawbaker
This service weaves together the history of worker’s protests (1886) for better working conditions, 
with immigrant justice and the Poor Peoples’ Campaign in this country.  From local initiatives to
support our teachers’ unions to the campaigns and countermeasures at an Amazon warehouse in Alabama.  
Which side are we on?

A modified Maypole activity will take place in the Courtyard after the service.

Sun. May 9   Mother’s Day     "All Children Are Our Children" - Reflection by Alice Stewart 
Worship Leader: Rev. Kathryn Hawbaker
FUUSM member and Children’s Services Director for Washington County Alice Stewart will offer the reflection. Slogans of this era remind us of a communal focus on children “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child” used as a title for Hillary R. Clinton’s book, and
“No Child Left Behind”  from Marian W. Edelman - the Children’s Defense League. Indigenous people have long used the measure
of seven generations for their decisions. How shall we teach our children well?
• Virtual Choir presentation: "When We Sing"

FUUSM  Happenings

Women's Group Returns To In-Person Meeting Wed. May 12  The FUUSM women's group will return to in-person meetings beginning in May, weather and the Covid situation permitting. Our May 12 meeting will be held outdoors at Debra Miller's home, 113 Rae Avenue in Devola at 6:30 p.m. Bring your own food (we have decided not to hold our usual feast at this time) and lawn chair. In case of inclement weather, the meeting will be held via Zoom using the Main/Sunday Service Link. One topic of discussion will be whether to continue a Zoom subgroup, perhaps small-group discussions of particular topics.

The Cherish ALL Life Project   You’re invited to make a mini movie on your phone to investigate this years’ theme question:  How can we be mindful and authentic in cherishing all life?  I am asking members and friends to make a short movie, so we as viewers can experience the life of the one who creates the movie. Photos are welcome and will be in the final product but try a short movie.  Send your movie to me – Jane Tumas-Serna (jtumas.serna at gmail.com)
