[Worship] Fwd: Adeline, your values in action

Mon Jun 29 11:20:05 CDT 2020

Hello, W& M friends,

Prepping for our July 1 meeting:

We are behind times for meeting UUSC's June 30 matching gift 
opportunity, but we could still use the UUSC Sunday service that is 
available to show online (link in this newsletter).  I haven't watched 
the whole thing yet, but what I looked at was really good! (I especially 
enjoyed the virtual choir selections.) Could be plugged in for a service 
(or part of a service) in August, if we need to take a break from 
developing everything ourselves. I apologize for redundancy if you've 
already received this from UUSC.

See you on Zoom Wednesday!

Adeline

*ADVOCACY & MOBILIZING*

The United States will never truly live up to its potential until 
racism, white supremacy, and bigotry are eradicated. UUSC is expanding 
its anti-criminalization work and encouraging its members to follow the 
wisdom of Black-led organizations. We all have a role to play in 
supporting movements for racial justice and mobilizing to defend Black 
lives.

*On Sacred Land: Protecting Tribal Sites from Fracked Gas*

UUSC and its members are actively supporting the Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe 
of Texas as they fight to protect their land, specifically the Garcia 
Pasture, from Texas LNG, who seeks to build fracked gas terminals on 
sacred sites. You can now listen to testimony from the recent 
Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribunal for Human Rights that affirms their inherent 
right to protect the land, their right to survival, and their right to 
recognition.

*IN YOUR CONGREGATION*
*Resources Are Ready for Your Virtual UUSC Sunday *

Bring UUSC Sunday to your congregation this summer! In times of crisis, 
looking to moments in our shared history when we rose to the challenges 
before us can offer important lessons — as well as hope. A special 
virtual UUSC Sunday with UUSC President and CEO, Rev. Mary Katherine 
Morn, is available now. We invite congregations to use the entire 
service or the elements that best suit your summer service needs. Join 
us as we explore how congregations have brought our Unitarian 
Universalist values to the fight for human rights since UUSC’s founding 
80 years ago and how, together, we will continue the work of justice 
into the future.
