Hospitality
encompasses reaching in and
reaching out. It means caring for our members AND caring for our
community, our country, our world. Sometimes being hospitable
involves something as small as just ‘being there’ to listen to
someone. Sometimes being hospitable means taking action on
important issues.
Social
Justice News
The UUA Advocacy
& Witness Team has three newsletters to help you keep updated on
important social justice opportunities Visit uua.org/socialjustice. One
of their actions is Lobbying for BGLT Equality. They are asking UUs to
visit their representative or senator’s district or national office and
ask them to support BGLT equality by working on the following issues:
Repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell; supporting the Employment
Non-Discrimination Act; Marriage Equality, and stricter Hate Crimes
enforcement.
The Peace Movement
Through participation in the annual Clinton non-violence march and other events, we strive to show that we stand on the side of peace, justice and equality.
Share the Plate
On the fourth Sunday of each month, offering donations that are not marked for pledges are donated to a non-profit organization that whose values reflect our UU principles.
Guest at Your Table
Yearly we participate in this UU
Service Committee’s Program. GAYT boxes are
taken home by each family and set on the table where
meals are eaten. Family members are encouraged to think of all
the people who have less to eat than they do, while putting enough cash
into the box to feed a ‘guest’ for that meal. The boxes are returned
and the money collected is turned in to the UUSC who shares with us
what worthwhile causes the money has been--and is--being used for. Low Carbon Diet Workshops
Members of the
Clinton UUF are working on a program to inform, cooperate with, and
challenge other community members to do their part in rescuing our
Earth from the effects of years of overuse and abuse. At this point, we
are focusing on using a UUA-sponsored program called ‘A Low Carbon Diet: A 30 Day Program to
Lose 5000 Pounds.’ Experts
say that we
(inhabitants on this planet) have no choice but to join together NOW to
help save Earth as we know it. UUF
member Pat Walke will coordinate and
lead these workshops, on an as-needed basis. All you need is the
workbook (available at the sessions, used and recycled, of course) and
a willingness to learn and make thoughtful changes to your lifestyle!
If interested, call the church office, 563-243-4972, and leave a message.
