Upcoming Service

Facing our inheritance, Choosing our legacy: What kind of ancestors will we be?

December 10, 2023

ZOOM ONLY

On Human Rights Day, join Rev. Deanna Vandiver of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee and our UU College of Social Justice in a nourishing worship service that will support us as we turn with courage towards our inheritance of systems of domination and as we stretch with hope and curiosity towards our own faithful legacies.

Born by a lowland salt marsh, educated by a mighty river, and called by love to an island cared for by the people of the clear saltwater since time immemorial, the Rev. Deanna Vandiver (she/they) is a minister of love and liberation affiliated with the Church of the Larger Fellowship Unitarian Universalist, founder of Ever Unfolding LLC, and director of justice education for the UUSC and the UU College of Social Justice.

This service is on Zoom only. There will be no children's or youth religious education classes.

Masks are optional in the sanctuary.
