Featured Resource: UU Climate Justice Revival
UUs are coming together to inspire, reawaken, and transform our churches
through climate justice. Bring your justice teams, problem solvers, and
dreamers. The planning team will provide everything needed: facilitation
toolkits, training, music, projects, coordinated justice action, and more.
No matter your congregation’s size or resources, you can join and together
we will enter a new era of climate action. Let's go—appoint two volunteer
facilitators who will be trained to participate. Learn more.

Because of her training as an environmental ethicist, this work - this
calling for climate justice - is central to President Betancourt's hopes
and dreams for all Unitarian Universalists.

fosters connections within our faith community and beyond.

We invite you to join us at CER Summer Institute for a week long UU
mulitgenerational family camp in western Pennsylvania July 7-13. UUMAC (UU
MidAtlantic Community) will also join us for this year's gathering!

Our Whole Lives (OWL) is an excellent, comprehensive sexuality education
program that offers participants the opportunity to explore their values
and gain accurate information about topics that are often not easily
accessible. The overall goal of the Our Whole Lives program is to help
participants gain the knowledge, values, and skills they need to lead
sexually healthy, responsible lives. The goals of this workshop are to
prepare the participants to implement the curriculum as well as the
Sexuality and Our Faith component. Through a varied program including
practice and participation activities, the trainers will cover
implementation techniques, curricula details, and technical information.
