At the August 17 Service, congregants submitted questions that they have been pondering about life, UU faith, and “what happens next.” In this Service, using spiritual tools from the Jewish New Year, we will contemplate the questions and set our intentions for the year together.

For over a century labor has been a driving force in anchoring human rights in our law and our lives. As labor unions continue to be under attack, how can we reshape our vision of rights and work in a way that encompasses all of what we do with our life force and allows us to build the power we need to make systemic change?

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.

Sometimes a story comes along that is too impossibly good not to tell. Come hear the story of a small but hearty racehorse who stole the heart of America during the great depression and contemplate why he touched the lives and hearts of so many in a time when hope was hard to find.

Global Health Charities focuses on reducing infant and maternal mortality by providing a clean birthing environment for mother and baby with our Clean Birth Kits.

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.

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.
