Question Box Sunday!

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.

A Message from the Margins

A Message from the Margins will be a call to listen more deeply into the voices, stories, and truths that often go unheard. In this message, we’ll explore the spiritual and social realities of “the margins”, those spaces where people are pushed, silenced, or overlooked. We will consider who draws these margins, and why do some stay there generation after generation? Those who control the margins often control the narrative. This is a message about reclaiming voice, restoring dignity, and realizing that justice doesn’t flow from the center, but from the edge.

Detroit’s Birthday – Service at 1st UU Detroit

In July of 1701 the French colonized city of “the straights” (Detroit) officially became incorporated. The next three hundred years were a complicated tale of colonialism, industry, government sponsored racism, and unimaginable resilliance. Come celebrate with stories of the city and learn the lessons of a region that intentionally marginalized an entire population, and what we can do about it now.

Embodied Trans Justice

Join us as Deirdre (Dee) Church helps us explore and grow our own capacity for supporting trans people through direct action. Using her expertise as a clinical therapist, Dee will discuss the pendulum of hyper-activism and burnout that so many activists face, how to slow down our nervous systems to make intentional actions, and how to soften emotional barriers that stop us from embodying our justice-seeking principles.
