We have a winner!

Congratulations to the UU Church of Spartanburg, SC, winners of a $50 gift certificate to the UUA Bookstore! Their name was drawn from the pool of congregations that registered their Earth Day events on the UUMFE website. This congregation celebrated Earth Day with an intergenerational worship service that included a conversation with a magic frog, a river rock communion, and time to honor their Eco-Hero. The service asked congregants to reflect on finding their place in the family of things and to discover how to live in loving relationship with the Earth and all her various and complicated life-forms.

Connecting the Dots Between Environmental Justice and Immigration
Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations across the country are engaged with our denomination’s current Congregational Study/Action Issue (CSAI): Immigration as a Moral Issue. Climate change and environmental toxins disproportionately and unjustly impact the health and economic well-being of immigrants. Some environmentalists have even been leaders in anti-immigration movements (try Googling “immigration and environment”). As UUs, we are called to deeper understanding of these issues and to put our values into action.
