Hot Topic: “UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST SERVICE COMMITTEE”
HOT TOPICS
Presented by
ADVOCATES FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE UUCSR
UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST SERVICE COMMITTEE
Reverend Waitstill Sharp was a Unitarian Minister in Massachusetts, where he lived with his wife
Martha Sharp and their two small children. In 1939 they agreed to go to Austria to establish
an “Underground Railroad” for Jewish children under Nazi occupation. The Unitarian
Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) sprang from their acts of amazing courage and
commitment to “the worth and dignity of every person.” The UUSC continues to partner
with grassroots organizations anywhere rights are threatened – by natural disasters, armed
conflicts, genocide, forced migration and systematic injustice. We can imagine the demand
for their help now!
On Sunday, April 9th, aka “Justice Sunday,” Carly Cronon from UUSC will be here to tell us
how they are responding to the horrendous crises around the world today and how we can
help. Tom Andrews, President and CEO of UUSC, is convinced that churches have a central
role to play in these dangerous times!
Come to the Board Room at 12:45 on 4/9 to find out what he means.
NEW: Bring what you would like to eat – we provide LIGHT snacks, NOT lunch.

(Bridging Ceremony for graduating Youth Group members at 11:00.)
We begin our series on the Seven Virtues with courage. The Unitarian Universalist Association is currently wracked with turmoil over racial inequalities in hiring and leadership. Some folks are facing this courageously, others less so. Whether at the national level, here at UUCSR, or in our hearts and minds it takes courage to dismantle racist structures and habits, and to move together toward the truly equal and respectful multi-racial community that the Spirit of Love longs for us to create.
Today we also welcome our graduating seniors into the community of adult members with a Bridging Ceremony at the 11:00 service.

The intelligent order of the Universe is revealed in many ways. Considering the wonders of the natural world can strengthen our trust and faith in the Great Big Thing as surely as any scripture. Come get your head stretched on the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Sequence. You may never look at trees, your body, or a rectangle the same way again!

In 1995, a Sixth Source became adopted by the UU General Assembly, adding to the formally recognized roots of UU spirituality: “Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.” This came after years of organizing, activism and agitation on the part of UU pagan women (and a few men), who helped open us to feminine imagery of the Divine and a deep ecological consciousness. Today we’ll hear from one of the pioneers of this movement, our own Rev. Shirley Ranck.

Let us celebrate the wonders of Life in its gorgeous, diverse splendor. Please bring a single flower (or more!) to share, as together we will create a huge beautiful bouquet for our annual Flower Communion ritual. At 9:15 our children will be in the whole service, and help present a story from Fabelia. At both services, The Choir will perform an original piece by UU Petaluma Music Director Jesus Contreras, husband to our own Sadie Sonntag.
