Beyond Cookbooks & Flowers:
Why Mother’s Day Matters More Than Ever in this Election Year
Sunday morning at 10am
With Grenda David
Every day women in America created Mother’s Day not simply to honor women, but to unify and empower women to make social justice change. Let’s step back in time together to revisit the origins of Mother’s Day to remember how unstoppable we can be when united behind our determination to create a just and loving world. Along the journey, Grenda will share about her experience going to the Women’s March on Washington and offer a call to action and share ways to make our voices matter in this election year. After services, we will gather in fellowship hall for a light meal steeped in suffragette history!

The Welcome Challenge – No one likes to be left out, right? Everyone wants to be treated equally. So let’s play a little game to figure out how we can welcome all types of people into our UU spaces.
Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.
