Compassion and Immigration Across the globe, as migrants leave their native lands to seek safety and opportunity, both great tensions and unexpected blessings follow. How can our UU values of justice, equity and compassion inform our approach to immigration? From the TRUST Act to the Dreamers, from Arizona to California, there is much that requires a deeper look. Service will be led by Vilma Ortiz and Rev. Lindi Ramsden, Senior Minister & Executive Director of the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry, CA. |

Compassionate Communication with Mary MacKenzie The Board and the Committee on Ministry invite you to attend a workshop on “Connecting our Community through Listening and Talking Compassionately with One Another” on Saturday, October 3, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Forbes Hall. The workshop, sponsored by the Board and Committee on Ministry, will be led by Mary Mackenzie, an expert in compassionate communication. We will have the opportunity to explore our feelings about this community that we love and support and to learn how to value, respect, and be open to the feelings and needs of everyone in our beloved spiritual community. PLAN FOR THE DAY 10 to 10:30 am — Opening and Introductions 10:30 to 11:30 am — Needs and Feelings; and Differentiating between Needs and Preferences (our differences often show up in our preferences, not our values; the more we focus on our values, the greater our opportunity for finding common ground and peaceful resolutions that value everyone’s needs) 11:30 to 12:30 pm — Self Empathy (the profound importance of first knowing what we want and then acting in ways that are more likely to inspire a response to achieve it) 12:30 to 1:30 pm — LUNCH – We will break bread together. 1:30 to 3 pm — Empathy for Another Person (understanding and connecting with the deeper meaning behind a person’s actions and words, to build greater connection and compassion between people, especially those who hold a different view) 3 to 3:15 pm — BREAK 3:15 to 4:45 — Asking for What You Want in a Positive Way (how to express yourself in ways that are more likely to be received well by others, and your needs are more likely to be met) 4:45 to 5 pm — Closing |

Confessions of a GrasshopperMay Worship Theme: What Binds Us
In our UU faith, we are bound together not by creed or dogma, but by covenant, the sacred promises we make with one another about who we are and how we want to be in community together. We often quote our Seven Principles, yet rarely repeat the concluding lines of the congregational covenant from which they come:
Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision. As free congregations we enter into this covenant, promising one another our mutual trust and support.
Join Rev. Rebecca and our worship leaders for a month-long exploration of covenant, mutual trust and support, and what binds us to one another, to our living tradition, and to the wider world.

He lives in Silver Lake with his wife, Wanda, and an assortment of feathered and furry friends.

Confessions of an Apocaloptimist Urban Dictionary definition of an Apocaloptimist: 'Someone who knows it's all going to shit, but refuses to lose theirs in the process.' We can all find reasons to panic about the environment, the economy, the rise of corruption and greed or the collapse of human civility. How can we look at the world earnestly - with its capacity to break our heart - and not lose hope? Those who can do that - who can stand amidst impossible odds and still be engaged and idealistic - is an apocaloptimist." |

Confronting Structural Racism in Traditionally White Spaces: A Facilitated Dialogue This facilitated dialogue, sponsored by our Board, will examine structural racism through the lens of whiteness and privilege. We will pose questions encouraging self-reflection and discourse upon issues of fragility, microaggressions and personal and collective responsibility. It will conclude with sharing strategies for working towards reconciliation and justice. One of many that will be held nationwide during the National Week of Racial Healing, our dialogue circle is coordinated by Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Los Angeles, and is open to the Los Angeles community. Initiated by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, TRHT is a comprehensive, national and community-based process to plan for and bring about transformational and sustainable change, and to address the historic and contemporary effects of racism. TRHT seeks to unearth and jettison the deeply held, and often unconscious, beliefs created by racism – the main one being the belief in a “hierarchy of human value.” A light lunch will be served prior to the circle. Participants must register at https://www.racialequityla.org/programs-events/2020/1/20/confronting-structural-racism-in-traditionally-white-spaces-a-facilitated-dialogue. For further information, please contact Audrey Lyness. |
