Rev. David Miller invites us to think of ourselves as weavers. "There are and will continue to be real and vitally important opportunities for us to weave.

The need is too big, and we are all needed to connect the threads.

Sermon by Social Justice Coordinator Andrew Batcher: As Unitarian Universalists we put love at the center. Sometimes that means being brave. Bravery might mean protesting in the streets. It might mean caring for loved ones through hard times. It might mean speaking your mind when it's unpopular. In times of fear, our congregation can provide spiritual sustenance through supporting each other to take the risks we choose to take.

“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ― E. B. White

Rev. David Miller: We're constantly being baited into outrage and reactivity. But what if we choose a different path? By staying rooted in our values, we can use our energies as a strategic force for good and justice.
