Making It Up as We Go

Gratitude for Volunteers

I Believe Black Lives Matter. What Can I Do to Put My Belief Into Practice?
We will hear about different ways we can participate in making change, some as part of UUMAN and some outside of UUMAN. This service will help us fulfill our mission: Strive for Justice. Transform the World.
Where is your flag this flag day?
It is Flag Day! Flags are a symbol of ownership and of borders. They also have meaning. We fly a flag because it stands for something with which we identify. What happens when our flag stands for something with which we do not identify? What do we do?
Holiday Traditions
Many of us grew up with traditions in which our families participated during this time of year. For many, decorating a tree was one tradition. In this service, the congregation will be invited to contribute an ornament from their home to decorate the UUMAN Christmas tree.

UUMAN congregants from other countries will share stories about the traditions with which they grew up.
