SUNDAY SERVICE:
|
As we begin our ministry together, we may have lots of questions for one another. Who am I? Who are you? Where do we come from? Building a working relationship founded on Love will ask much of us. What might guide us on our journey?
You may notice some new things at Sunday's worship. Rev. Carin is inviting all who attend worship this week to: Bring your own chalice to light at home, sing familiar hymns while far apart -- by keeping our microphones muted, and honor each others Joys and Concerns, which will be read aloud while candles are lit |
Collections for August 2020:
|
This month we are supporting the Sussex Food Pantry and CERN!
|
The organization we are encouraging all of us at LCUUC to donate to in the month of August is CERN – Communities Ending Racism Now. This organization was started by Sabrina Benson, who spoke at our “Unite For Racial Justice” vigil in June about some of the devastating ways being Black in our country has been so difficult for her and her family. CERN’s mission and vision are to “Build a coalition of families to dismantle racism within Wisconsin’s suburban schools and beyond, and to equip and empower communities in the push to end institutional and covert racism and mindsets for the betterment of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students.
|
Also, please consider making an online donation to LCUUC in place of the usual Sunday donations (three in May). Select "Miscellaneous Fundraising" in the list of contributions funds. Thanks for supporting LCUUC. |
Go to DONATE to support these vital organizations providing support in this great time of need and to support LCUUC. If you would prefer to send a check, mail it to LCUUC with a note of which organization and/or "Sunday Basket" in the memo line. Every dollar helps! Thank you!
DISCUSSION: Between the World & Me - August 30th 7-8pm & Sept 27th 7-8pm
Sponsored by the Social Justice Committee
The Social Justice Committee is offering ways for all of us to help work toward a world where Black Lives DO Matter.Twice a month, the Social Justice Committee is sharing ways to Learn and Take Action for Black Lives. All of us feel called to do something to change our racist society, but many of us feel that we have little time. These bi-monthly emails give you a concrete way to learn something – either reading something or watching a short video, and then do something – write a letter or participate in a class or an action. A short commitment of time and energy that can allow you to make a difference. Look for these emails on lekooks.
We are also leading Zoom discussions on highly recommended books and movies by African Americans that help us understand systemic racism in our society.
