WORSHIP SERVICE

"SACReD Stories, SACReD Decisions and Mary, Mother of God"
Sunday, December 10, 10:50 am, 2023
Rev. Angela Tyler-Williams, Guest Preacher

What is your faith story? What is your reproductive story? How is the Divine a part of both of these stories? How can we weave them together free from shame, judgment, and stigma? Join us as we examine our stories alongside one of the ancient stories of Mary, Mother of God. Rev. Angela Tyler-Williams from SACReD, the Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity, will lead an exploration of this Advent story and share some of the biblical support for Reproductive Justice.

Following the service, there will be a complimentary lunch in the Thomas Starr King Room where you can meet Rev. Angela Tyler-Williams and learn more about SACReD's activities.

UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS FOR JUSTICE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9 FROM 12:00 PM TO 3:00 PM, TSK ROOM

UU’s for Justice in the Middle East—Bay Area chapter invites you to discuss Israel/Palestine and the ongoing war in Gaza after watching a screening of the film “Roadmap to Apartheid," which provides context and background on the current crisis.

“Roadmap To Apartheid” is an award-winning documentary narrated by Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple), a South African-born journalist and an Israeli-born filmmaker. It documents the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa and why many Palestinians believe they live under an apartheid system today. The striking parallels include house demolitions, the creation of Bantustans, and curbs on freedom of movement and recommended by Nobel Peace Prize-winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

If you plan to attend, please email us at forum@uusf.org to help us prepare a food order.
