All These Words mean Happy Kwanzaa (one service at 11 a.m.)
Kwanzaa was created in 1966 to offer Black Americans an alternative to the consumerism (and lack of capital returning to Black communities) found at Christmas. Research for the holiday was partially provided by our Unitarian Universalist Association through a fund created to support Black Empowerment. Join Gregory C. Carrow-Boyd for a lively musical dialogue on the meaning of Kwanzaa in Unitarian Universalism and its significance to Black Unitarian Universalists.

All-Ages Beach Cleanup - Offsite All-Ages Beach Cleanup Join us by the sea for an All-Ages Beach Cleanup. Our RE teens have adopted a beach, Annenberg North, and they invite you for hard work, sea air, and fun beautifying our beloved Santa Monica Bay shore. Everyone needs to sign the waiver (printable at https://www.healthebay.org/waiver) and meet up at the Annenberg Beach House parking lot. Kids are most welcome, and they’ll be so proud to take care of “our beach.” Because this is a teen-organized event, all kids under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We’ll bring supplies and snacks. You bring your care and energy – and hats and sunscreen. Plastics and other marine debris are a global pollution problem that also impacts human health and safety. Each one of us can protect shore and marine habitats and wildlife by keeping our coast free from harmful pollution. “Sea” you there! Contact Beth Brownlie, president@uusm.org

All-Church Ministry Themes As part of our congregation’s commitment to lifespan RE at UUCCSM, we’re trying out an exciting new way of coming together as one church community: monthly ministry themes. These topics will provide an axis around which many elements of church life gain more meaning and depth, though the church’s offerings each month will by no means be limited to the themes. We’ll engage the themes through sermons, music, newsletter articles, RE classes, special events, and much more. We’ll offer at least one Adult RE program that relates to each month’s theme. And we’ll celebrate the themes through newsletter articles, stories, at-home resources for families, music, special events and more. Also, be sure to check out our lists of monthly ministry theme-based quotes, prepared by church member Bettye Barclay.

Allies and Advocates (Online Service)
As we seek to live into our values for social justice, many with very good intentions often end up saying nothing, or saying the wrong thing, when they are called to lean into a conversation. Today we will talk about what it means to be an ally and an advocate — for an individual and for a cause. We will also talk about what you might say when what you are saying isn’t working.

America at Play The World Series allows me to consider the game of baseball as folk idiom, i.e., as a lens through which we can grow in our understanding of what?s at the heart of America?s zeitgeist. In the words of 102- year-old Columbia University cultural historian Jacques Barzun, Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game. |
