We are very excited to offer a Blessing of the Animals officiated by Rev. Stephen Landale, a hospice chaplain from Eugene. If you plan to bring your companion animal, they need to be unaggressive and kept on a leash, or in a crate or cage, while in the building. Alternatively, you could also bring a photograph of your pet, or an image on your phone or tablet – or participate virtually with your pet, via Zoom.
The UU Church of the Larger Fellowship (CLF) is a world wide internet community of people who do not live near a UU church, serve in the military or are incarcerated. At the UUA General Assembly this year CLF proposed the topic of “Abolition, Transformation, and Faith Formation” to be the 2025 Congregational Study Action Issue. The delegates at GA voted for this proposal. Rev. Dr. Michael Tino, a CLF Lead minister will join us via Zoom with a message about why abolition of our prison system is fundamentally a UU value.
