When the concentration camps were cleared after WWII ended, an inscription was found on a wall that includes the line “I believe in the sun even when it isn’t shining.” On this Sunday before the inauguration of an administration at our multicongregation Service at 1st UU Detroit, we will lean into believing in the seeds of joy, hope, and love even when we can’t see them.
This Ingathering Sunday kicks off the beginning of the year together. Everyone is encouraged to bring water that represents who they are at this moment. Bring all of who you are into this community of care.
Danielle Ware, president of Community Equity Organization will talk about how to move beyond educating yourself on social justice issues. She will discuss how to move to action to create change with the knowledge that you’ve gained.
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.
