    “Love Will Guide Us” with Children’s Ministry

    Join us for Love Will Guide Us in November – Sundays in Coffee Hour after service!

    For ages 6-12; these 3 sessions focus on the 1st Unitarian Universalist Source, “Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life,” and the 6th Unitarian Universalist Source — in children’s language, “the harmony of nature and the sacred circle of life.” Closely considering the wonder and mystery of nature and our own questions about death, this class is a perfect continuation from our community’s annual Dia de Los Muertos service.

    When: 3 Sundays beginning November 7th, November 14th, November 21st

    You can easily join us during Coffee Hour on Zoom from a smart phone, computer, or tablet:

  • Dia de los Muertos – Home Altar Kit

    Immediately following the service this Sunday, October 24th, our Celebrations Team will be handing out creative kits for you to make your own Dia de Los Muertos Ofrenda altar. This kit has everything you need as well as instructions from our own Abuela Sylvia on how to do this. Come to the upper parking lot following the service to safely pick up your kit.

    If you would like your altar to be included in our Dia de los Muertos slideshow, send us a picture by Monday, October 25th to submit@phoenixuu.org. If you can’t do your altar in time–no worries, we’ll include them on our Facebook page next week.

  • Earth Justice Ministry Update – Oct 21, 2021

    We urge you to call Now! Use these links to find and connect to your leaders: House of Representatives & Senate

    In early November, President Biden will attend the U.N.’s 26th Conference of the Parties in Glasgow. If he must report that the U.S. has, yet again, passed no concrete legislation to address the climate crisis, the other 196 nations will have no reason to take action. Now is the time for every citizen who wants action to end the climate crisis to say: “HOLD THE LINE! NO CLIMATE NO DEAL!” 

    CALL SCRIPT: My name is ________. I am a constituent from _________. My message for you is to HOLD THE LINE! PASS THE ENTIRE BUILD BACK BETTER PLAN, WITH NO CUTS TO CLIMATE ACTIONS OR SOCIAL JUSTICE. HOLD UP THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL UNTIL THERE’S A DEAL ON ALL OF IT!

    Eat Plants Tip: “Hope…requires action and engagement.” “The cumulative effect of thousands of ethical actions can help to save and improve our world for future generations.” “The movement to heal our lives and our planet is critically important, and food is at its very foundation.” Jane Goodall, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times.

    And please try some locally grown, indigenous foods like Nopalitos or prickly pear cacti, which are good for lowering blood sugar. You could pick your own and burn off the needles. Or you can buy them in the Mexican food section in 27-30 oz. jars, preserved with salt, onion and a little chili pepper. At first, they look a little slimy. But they lose that when cooked. They are great as an addition to scrambled eggs, along with sautéed onions and some diced green chilis. More recipes will follow. Enjoy!
