FLOWER DEDICATIONS ARE BACK! |
|
We are pleased to bring back Flower Dedications to our services, a time to honor a person or cause and to support the beauty of our services.
Contact diane@uuwestport.org to reserve a Sunday. You can then either order a basket of flowers for the sanctuary, or donate to our church funds and share a picture of flowers from your garden.
We look forward to bringing back this lovely part of our community gathering on Sundays. Thank you, in advance, for your generosity.

A SUNDAY SERVICE AND A SEMINAR SERIES: OCTOBER WILL BE A BUSY MONTH FOR US |
|
Our UU the Vote team is busy: phonebanking, postcard-writing, texting - helping people register and follow their state's laws so every vote counts. Already we’ve reached thousands of households in critical states. Voter suppression is a reality. We need to GET OUT THE VOTE.
Issues that are critical to us, as an active faith community, will be voted on this year. To explore these, we are offering a seminar series featuring Rev. John discussing some of these issues, and how we as UUs might think about them and help others think about them. Tuesdays in October, 6-7PM. We will promote this series to the wider Fairfield county and beyond … let’s educate and motivate!
And we will be dedicating a worship service on Oct 4 to UU the Vote.

Dear Friends, Welcome to our TUCWomen’s Fall, 2020, season. This is a time of great uncertainty, a time when we need one another more than ever in our UU community of love, service and support.
As UU women, we ache for a better tomorrow for ourselves and for the whole human community. In witnessing the death of George Floyd, we join with our TUCW congregation in loud outcry for racial justice with a focus on Black Lives Matter. A small team from TUCWomen met regularly over the summer to craft a clear statement in support of Black Lives Matter. We invite you to come together to share your responses to the statement and your dreams on what we, together, can do to build a racially just and compassionate world.
TUCWomen’s First Black Lives Matter Event: Friday Sept 18, 7-8:30 PM.
ZOOM sent out next week.
We look forward to seeing you online! Appreciatively, The TUCWomen’s team
Sudha Sankar, Pat Francek, Cheryl Dixon Paul, Janet Luongo, Eileen Belmont, Carol Hamilton, Sari Bodi, Elizabeth Macdonald, Beverly Bailey
