“Working with the Board and congregation on Strategic Plan 2020-2023 revisions (to ensure we include anti-racism work) and the proposed UUA 8th Principle which is part of a UUCP congregational resolution reads: “We journey towards spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.” Expanding music ministry to include diverse, racially inclusive options: Working with Music Director Marjorie Herman and Rev. Bill. Reviewing how we give grants from UUCP: Exploring how our dollars reflect our social and racial justice values. On-going projects that involve deepening our work with “outside” partners: Involvement with Not In Our Town Princeton: On-going collaboration with this Princeton group whose mission is “to promote the equitable treatment of all, and to uncover and confront white supremacy – a system which manipulates and pits all races and ethnicities against each other.” Mentoring and tutoring youth and adults of color : There are currently 8 tutors and 7 mentors who are UUCP congregants committed to helping one on one. Working with La Convivencia in West Windsor on projects such as the MLK Day event : Held Jan 20, 2020, over 25 persons from UUCP helped contribute and sort personal care products for persons served by RISE in Hightstown and participated in a lively discussion with about 75 persons about living out King’s messages in today’s world..”

See something wrong?

Denomination off, name wrong, or this isn’t actually a house of worship? Tell us — it helps keep the archive honest, and flags the page for a re-check.

Invite your members to build their own personal theology on Divining — and see, over time, which of your past sermons resonate most.

Most-saved moments

Coming soon. Once listeners begin saving sermons and passages, the moments your congregation returns to most will appear here.
