Through the medium of poetry, we will explore belonging, ease, and meaning. Poetry is one way to be open to spirituality and mystery. Come, let us share and grow together.
The closing words that our youth recite when they extinguish the chalice at the end of class end with, "We are building a better world together… we don't have to it alone." Come reflect on the past year that RE has had, celebrate the accomplishments our students have made together, and see the beauty of community and togetherness across generations.
Do you have questions? Maybe we have answers! We’ll find out! At this Service Rev. Karen and UUCF’s RE Coordinator, Argot Kramer, will answer questions from the congregation. We will also bless backpacks, briefcases, purses, whatever you have to kick off the beginning of the school year.
Our guest speaker will address the need for affordable housing and the importance of homeownership for the poor and disenfranchised, focusing on many initiatives taking place in the Detroit area, including neighborhoods of tiny homes. She will talk briefly about homelessness and returning citizens, also known as those who have been formerly incarcerated, and how her organization is committed to helping justice involved citizens overcome the many barriers they face.
